“Primary goal is to win”- President of baseball association Andrew Friedman reacts over Dodgers’ roster changes

The Los Angeles Dodgers made some big roster changes on Sunday, which goes on to show that they care more about winning now than holding on to longtime players. An important player like Tommy Edman was brought back, but to make room, they released veteran Chris Taylor, who had been with the team for a long time. Among the changes brought in by the Dodgers, they have also added pitcher Lou Trivino from Triple-A after Kirby Yates was left and was put on the injured list. Earlier in the week, they let go of backup catcher Austin Barnes to make space for young prospect Dalton Rushing. These moves show the Dodgers are focused on doing whatever it takes to win this season.President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said:"This has been a very emotional week for all of us, Barnsey and CT have been in the middle of some huge moments for this organization. Both guys have left an indelible mark on our culture and where we're at at this point.""We saw it in 2021, winning 106 games and not winning the division, Our primary goal during the regular season is to win the division. That is what we feel puts us in the best position to accomplish our ultimate goal."Reacting to the entire scenario, Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts said:“Obviously, we're in a tight race, And I think some of it is the race. Some of it is, you still want to continue to develop young players and give them opportunities with a veteran ballclub.”Also Read: Dodgers Secretly Eye Marcus Stroman As Quiet Fix For Shaky Rotation: ReportThe Dodgers made surprising changes, partly because the NL West is very competitive this season.
