The Dodgers have spent the last decade turning “good at baseball” into something bigger: a full-blown Los Angeles machine that prints momentum. Now that machine is bleeding into the Lakers’ building — and if you’re a Dodgers fan, it’s hard not to feel a little proud … and a tiny bit protective.
Lon Rosen, the Dodgers’ executive vice president and chief marketing officer since 2012, is leaving Chavez Ravine to become the Lakers’ president of business operations, replacing longtime Lakers executive Tim Harris, who’s stepping down after 35 years, as the Lakers also lean on Dodgers leaders Andrew Friedman and Farhan Zaidi for guidance in aligning their front office with the Dodgers’ blueprint.
