The Dodgers, aiming for a second consecutive World Series title, missed the opportunity to strengthen their roster at the trade deadline. They failed to acquire a proven closer despite six teams making such a move, leaving them without a reliable option for crucial game-ending situations. Additionally, the team needed a defensive-minded outfielder but did not secure one, as four other teams successfully filled that need. This failure is surprising given the Dodgers' strong roster, leading to concerns among their fanbase about their postseason capabilities.
