LOS ANGELES — Andrew Friedman called it the most disappointing elimination in his eight years as the Dodgers’ top front office executive, an “organizational failure” that the team hadn’t been anticipating after a franchise-record 111-win season.
But, three days removed from the Dodgers’ stunning National League Division Series loss to the San Diego Padres, the club’s president of baseball operations didn’t sound as though big changes were on the horizon.
In an end-of-season news conference at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, Friedman confirmed that manager Dave Roberts will return next season.
