""I've never tried to be political," Roberts said. "For me, I am going to continue to try to do what tradition says and not try to make political statements, because I am not a politician.""
""The White House is an incredible honor to get to go see, regardless of who's in office," Clayton Kershaw said, per the New York Post. "We went in 2021. We went this time. I know there's been a lot of stuff about, should the Dodgers go? All this stuff. But at the end of the day, getting to go to the White House, getting to see the Oval Office, getting to meet the president of the United States, that's stuff that you can't lose sight of no matter what you believe. I was super honored to get to go today.""
The Dodgers won the 2025 World Series in a seven-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The team intends to visit the White House to celebrate the championship, following the customary presidential visit for World Series winners. No date has been set and the organization has not officially accepted the invitation. The Dodgers previously visited the White House in 2021 and 2025 after prior championships. Manager Dave Roberts said he avoids political statements and plans to follow tradition. Clayton Kershaw called a White House visit an incredible honor and said meeting the president and seeing the Oval Office is unforgettable. The planned trip is controversial after the team denied ICE agents stadium access and faced fan pushback.
