"What they bring night-in and night-out, the passion that they show for the Dodgers - now, this is my 11th season and even on the road, the number of Dodger fans that are there and just the love that they have for this team, our job is to pour ourselves back into it and try to give them a team that can compete for championships, and that they can be proud of."
"And for us, that's our focus. Everything for us is about pouring back into our fans and that partnership that we have with them. So, you know, that's our focus. So anything else that comes from it - and obviously, I've heard a lot of it - it's just not front of mind for us because everything is around how do we put ourselves in the best position to win now and also to win in the future."
The Los Angeles Dodgers captured a second consecutive World Series title in an epic seven-game classic. Many critics criticized the championships as invalid because of the team's high payroll and spending. The New York Mets allocated 90 percent of 2024 revenue to 2025 payroll, the Dodgers reinvested 73 percent, and the Toronto Blue Jays reinvested 71.5 percent. Andrew Friedman defended the Dodgers’ spending and described the motivation as giving back to the fan base and maintaining a competitive roster. Leadership emphasized reinvesting revenue into top talent to improve on-field play and pursue championships both now and in the future.
