The new Los Angeles Dodgers President of Baseball Operations, Andrew Friedman, wasted very little time putting his stamp on the Dodgers in the month of December.
It started out with a fairly minor trade of pitcher Matt Magill to the Cincinnati Reds for Outfielder Chris Heisey. Magill had a few major league starts under his belt but was really not in the Dodgers immediate future plans. Chris Heisey was a spot starter in the Outfield for the Reds and a right-handed bat off the bench. The Dodgers have a glut of outfielders so I am curious as to what they will do with Heisey going into Spring Training.
The Dodgers then traded Backup Catcher Drew Butera to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for the infamous Player To Be Named Later and Butera was I believe what they refer to as a career backup, a modern day Bob Uecker.
The Dodgers picked up Catcher Rod Lavarnway off Waivers from the Red Sox a few days later then lost Lavarnway to the Chicago Cubs a few days after that and the Cubs lost him to the Baltimore Orioles a few days after that. That is four teams in about two weeks. I wonder what the record is?
