The Los Angeles Dodgers are following a model reminiscent of the 1990s New York Yankees, committing substantial resources to build a star-studded roster. Critics argue this spending is detrimental to baseball, but GM Brandon Gomes defends the strategy, asserting the goal is to optimize their team’s talent. Recent signings include Blake Snell and Tanner Scott, alongside key re-signings and extensions. Gomes emphasized the intention to make the Dodgers playoff-ready from the start, minimizing trade deadline needs and aiming for a deep postseason run.
We are focused on and tasked with making sure our team is as good as possible.
The nature of our sport, the nature of the playoff format, you can be technically the best team and it doesn't guarantee you anything.
If we have to, we will. But the goal is to be like, 'Hey, this team is good enough as is to go out and make a deep run into the playoffs.'
