Dodgers president says concerns about team's offseason lull are 'anecdotal'
LOS ANGELES - As Andrew Friedman walked to the crowd stationed outside the home team's bullpen at Dodger Stadium, Spencer Allen reached over the railing clutching a baseball in one hand and a pen in the other.
Allen, a 13-year-old from Calabasas, requested more than an autograph from the team's president of baseball operations.
"Can you sign Bryce for us?" Allen said.
Bryce Harper is still a free agent.
Friedman smiled.
"Who's that?" he said, jokingly.
Earlier Saturday at the team's annual FanFest, nearby fans chanted the name of trade target J.T. Realmuto as Friedman climbed on the elevated set of the team-owned television station.
