""For me, just the way my mindset is and this was the same last year - our goal is to win the World Series. That's our goal and it's a realistic goal every year in this clubhouse. Our goal is not to go back-to-back. Our goal is not to three-peat. Our goal is to win the World Series. When you start talking about that other stuff, you start adding more pressure that doesn't need to be added. It's just noise.""
""Yes, we are going for the three-peat, but these are things that you don't think about because you're trying to win this year. Whatever happened last year and the previous year, that's already paid for. That's already history. You're not trying to win three championships in one year. You're just trying to win this year.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers aim for their first three-peat in franchise history in 2026. Players emphasize that their primary goal remains winning the World Series, not focusing on past achievements. Max Muncy states that discussing three-peats adds unnecessary pressure. The team approaches each game with the intent to win, moving on to the next without dwelling on previous successes. Kiké Hernandez echoes this sentiment, highlighting the importance of focusing on the current season rather than past championships, acknowledging the difficulty of winning.
