Since 2013, the Los Angeles Dodgers have dominated the National League West, interrupted only by the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres in recent postseason encounters. Despite sporadic success against the Dodgers, these victories prompted the Dodgers to enhance their roster significantly, now considered among the best in baseball. While the Diamondbacks have made strategic acquisitions, their efforts pale compared to the depth of the Dodgers. Notably, players like Randal Grichuk and Joe Mantiply have voiced respect for the Dodgersâ talent despite the Diamondbacks' improvements and ambition.
Randal Grichuk noted the Diamondbacks are not shying away from the difficulty of overcoming that challenge like they did in 2023, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic: "I see that (Dodgers) team and it could be arguably the best roster I've ever seen."
Everywhere you look, Diamondbacks reliever Joe Mantiply said, "their roster is loaded with superstars."
