The Los Angeles Dodgers are focusing heavily on winning another championship, inspired by their emotional 2024 championship parade—a first for many players from the 2020 squad. Dodgers president Andrew Friedman emphasized the players' desire to recreate that celebratory feeling. The team, also motivated by the recent passing of Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuela, aims to break the cycle of teams becoming complacent after a championship. Manager Dave Roberts expresses confidence in their commitment to pursuing success, highlighting the team's determination to work hard and avoid complacency.
The parade really had a profound effect on guys. Talking to them, there is a real sense that they want to do whatever is possible to have that feeling again.
As Los Angeles looks to become the first repeat champions of the baseball world in a quarter-century, opposing fans and critics have attempted to cast doubt with the word 'complacency.'
It's not in the slightest. This group is very committed, and we will be diligent about every single game and every single day to get back there.
The 2024 parade was incredibly special to the Dodgers, especially for the players who were a part of the 2020 World Series squad that did not get a parade.
