Earlier this month, Los Angeles Dodgers president Stan Kasten revealed players were extremely excited to see the state-of-the-art renovations to the clubhouse.

“This was about the long overdue renovations to the clubhouse, adding another batting cage, making the clubhouse kind of a more modern clubhouse,” Kasten told Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain. “Twelve years ago when we did it the first time, we were state-of-the-art and there’s an arms race among teams that are always competing with each other and we had become no longer state-of-the-art. Now, we’re top of the pyramid again in terms of areas for players to train, areas for them to practice, tools for both coaches and players, modern technology that wasn’t available 12 years ago. We’ve also built in adaptability for things that might be coming down the road in the next five or 10 years. That was overdue, and it’s going to be great.
“I will tell you, I had breakfast with two players this morning and they told me, as excited as they are to get their rings, they’re really excited to see the clubhouse because they’ve heard so many great things about it.”
After spending the last week or so in a newly-renovated clubhouse, the players have spoken.
“It feels like they created space out of nothing, which they kind of did,” Max Muncy said, via Jack Harris of The Los Angeles Times. “Everything just feels a whole lot bigger. It’s kind of amazing.”
“That clubhouse was amazing,” Freddie Freeman said.
“Really crazy,” Tyler Glasnow said. “Everything was really nice.”
The Dodgers opened the season overseas, but were rewarded once they returned home.
