After four long years, the Dodgers finally reclaimed the Commissioner’s Trophy with their victory over the New York Yankees in the World Series. But questions have started to arise across the entire baseball community about whether the Dodgers have a chance to win back-to-back titles.
“The Dodgers have a ton of morale and momentum from their World Series win,” said Joseph Fiedler ‘27, a longtime fan. “Los Angeles would love to see their Dodgers win a back-to-back title, so LA has all the belief that it can happen. It looks possible too, for the roster is still about the same with our talent level. The Dodgers for sure have a chance to make it back to the World Series, and hopefully, win it all again.”
The last team to win back-to-back titles was the New York Yankees, who won three titles from 1998-2000. This Dodgers team is on par with the star power of that Yankees team, featuring former MVPs Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, current MVP Shohei Ohtani, and new signing Blake Snell, a two-time Cy Young winner.
“They are doing great. They have a great chance of winning again,” said Alejandro Felix ‘27. “As long as they keep getting these star players, they should be a powerhouse for the next couple of years.”
Manager Dave Roberts continues to excel in increasing the team’s potential by including proper organization, adding depth at the pitching position, and re-signing Teoscar Hernandez. Overall, the team’s offense has a high chance of remaining dominant if they can maintain the depth and conditioning required for another championship run.
The Dodgers are in pursuit of building an unstoppable franchise. With the new and returning members of the squad, the Dodgers are looking to get back to the top of the MLB world for the second year in a row.
