This offseason is shaping up to be a different one for the Los Angeles Dodgers as it pertains to free agency.
With a revamped front office led by Andrew Friedman and Farhan Zaidi, the culture of the team has changed. While the Dodgers are still one of the richest teams in the league, it appears that throwing the most money at free agents may soon be replaced by a more analytical approach to improving the roster.
Friedman made a name for himself in Tampa Bay with the way he assembled quality teams on a small budget. This winter, Los Angeles will most likely be interested in seeking out bargains on the free-agent market, ones who can help address specific team needs for 2015.
There are several intriguing options who can potentially help shore up the team's four main areas of concern heading into the offseason: the bench, shortstop, middle relief and the back end of the starting rotation.
The following slides take a look at some of these low-cost players whom Friedman and Farhan may be eyeing as free agency begins in earnest.
