MLB reporter: The new boss of the Lakers believes there is a better choice and he is willing to fire successful employees

June 20th, TheAthletic's MLB reporter Andy McCullough and Dodgers reporter Fabian Ardaya jointly wrote an article about the new Lakers boss Walter's style of acting. They said Walter is willing to hire the best talent to serve himself.

The Dodgers won the Western Conference twice in 2013 and 2014, but failed to win the championship in both seasons. Ned Coletti, then general manager of the team, created a compelling lineup, star-studded. But Walter and the team chairman believed that there were more suitable candidates to take charge of the baseball operations. So the Dodgers marginalized Coletti and dug up Friedman, who had built a strong team in the small market team Tampa Bay Rays. "

"A year later, manager Don Martinley suffered a similar fate after missing the playoffs early for the third consecutive season. The team replaced him with Roberts, who became the highest winning manager in Major League Baseball history."

"This pair of Pelinka and JJ Redicki What does it taste? Maybe nothing. Walter doesn't seem to act like George Stanbrenner, who would fire subordinates at will. After the team lost the World Series in 2017 and 2018, Walter continued to appoint Friedman and Roberts. Pelinka just signed a new contract extension, and Redick only spent a year in a four-year contract. However, Walter has shown that if he thinks there is a better option, he is willing to part ways with successful employees. "

" and Walter is willing to spend money to form teams around those senior executives. The Dodgers hired one of the largest analytics departments in baseball and one of the largest scout teams. In an era when teams are constantly cutting off non-player positions to save money, Walter does the opposite. "
