"The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to repeat as World Series champions, while the Toronto Blue Jays are in the Fall Classic for the first time since 1993. Regardless of which team wins, Buddy Kennedy and Jose Ureña are guaranteed to receive a World Series ring. Both players spent time with the Dodgers and Blue Jays during the 2025 season. Kennedy began the year with the Philadelphia Phillies before getting designated for assignment and eventually joining the Blue Jays in July."
"It was a brief stint in Toronto as the Dodgers claimed Kennedy off waivers on Aug. 15. Julian Fernández was DFA'd to make room for Kennedy on the Dodgers' 40-man roster. Kennedy was brought in as infield depth when Max Muncy landed on the 15-day injured list due to a right oblique strain. The 27-year-old would appear in seven games with the Dodgers, going 1-for-17 at the plate."
"Ureña began the 2025 season with the New York Mets but appeared in only one game before getting designated for assignment. After clearing waivers, he signed a Minor League contract with the Blue Jays. Ureña found some success in Toronto but was again DFA'd after spending roughly a month with the team. He then signed a Major League contract with the Dodgers as the team was in search of bullpen help."
Los Angeles seeks a repeat while Toronto reached the Fall Classic for the first time since 1993. Buddy Kennedy began 2025 with the Philadelphia Phillies, was designated for assignment, signed with the Blue Jays in July, and was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Aug. 15. He appeared in seven games for Los Angeles (1-for-17), was DFA'd Aug. 25, and returned to Toronto on a Minor League contract. Jose Ureña began with the Mets, signed with Toronto, then joined the Dodgers as bullpen help, allowed one run in two appearances, was DFA'd, and finished the year with the Los Angeles Angels, tying a Major League record by playing for five teams.
