Starkville | Andrew Friedman Isn’t Apologizing for the Dodgers

The Dodgers are ruining baseball—or they’re not. These days, it depends on who you ask. This week, Jayson and Doug go straight to the source, sitting down with Dodgers president Andrew Friedman to get his take on the firestorm, as well as the inside story of how he pulled off the trade for Tarik Skubal. Plus, Jayson and Doug try to make sense of what happened in Toronto, where the Red Sox scored on one of the strangest plays in recent baseball history.Rundown:2:55 A Fourth Out in Toronto?15:33 Andrew Friedman Stops By15:57 The Rich Get Richer with Tarik Skubal21:33 Are the Dodgers Ruining Baseball?29:21 How a Big Deal Goes Down31:20 Listening to the Players32:24 Transitioning From Player to GM33:17 The Awe-Inspiring Shohei Ohtani36:06 Strange But True41:10 Doug’s Strange But True MomentFollow Jayson on Bluesky: @jaysonst.bsky.socialFollow Doug on Bluesky: @dougglanville.bsky.socialE-mail: [email protected] Hotline: (347) 313-8371Subscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Jayson Stark & Doug GlanvilleWith: Andrew FriedmanProducer: Jason Potere Hosted on Acast.
