According to Pedro Moura of The Athletic, Friedman described the last month as 'too chaotic' and indicated that the club had numerous staffing changes to make before handing the reins over to someone new. It's only been a month since former general manager Farzan Zaidi jumped ship for a new role as President of Baseball Operations for the longtime rival Giants. Within Zaidi's four-year tenure in Los Angeles, the Dodgers produced five NL West championships and two National League pennants, falling just short of their seventh and eighth championships in back-to-back World Series losses against the 2017 Astros and 2018 Red Sox.
