The Dodgers went out meekly against the St. Louis Cardinals in October and that was hard for me to deal with. Clayton Kershaw added to his string of post season non-successes (failures is such a harsh word and I cannot use that when it comes to Kershaw) losing twice to the Cardinals after winning the CY Young and the Most Valuable Player Awards.
After two straight dismal post seasons and watching the San Francisco Giants win the World Series this past year, a Dodgers makeover was in order. Ned Colletti was out (it was about time) and a new President of Baseball Operations was named, Andrew Friedman. He had turned the Tampa Bay Rays franchise around and into an playoff contender despite always having one of the lowest payrolls in Major League Baseball. He wasted no time in remolding the Dodgers in the month of December.
