"Fresh off of their second straight World Series title, the Los Angeles Dodgers have the chance to do what few teams have accomplished in baseball's illustrious history. Only the New York Yankees (1936-39, 1949-53, 1998-2000) and Oakland Athletics (1972-74) have won three consecutive World Series titles, and the Dodgers are hungry to add their name to the exclusive "three-peat" club."
""It seems to me the one thing that has been of great benefit to the Dodgers over the last many years is their ability to retain a hunger," Rosenthal said. "Now, it's difficult during the regular season, and we've seen them at times - not check out during the regular season - but not be fully engaged and sometimes the way that they handle their players in regards to injuries, they kind of slow play things.""
"Health Fortunately for the Dodgers, they return veteran leaders who should be in line to make sure younger players on the roster aren't simply going through the motions. Among the returning clubhouse favorites is Miguel Rojas, who is a beloved member of the roster and is expected to have a role on the Dodgers' player development staff after his MLB career is over."
The Los Angeles Dodgers enter the season seeking a rare third consecutive World Series title, a feat only previously achieved by the Yankees and Athletics. The club strengthened its bullpen by signing top free agent closer Edwin Díaz to a three-year, $69 million contract. Ken Rosenthal emphasized the importance of maintaining hunger and avoiding complacency, noting occasional regular-season disengagement and cautious injury management. Veteran leaders, including Miguel Rojas, are expected to help keep younger players engaged and contribute to player development after their playing careers. Health and sustained motivation are highlighted as critical factors for another deep postseason run.
