"Not one time was I questioned on my decision-making [by the players], which in turn would question their commitment to the team," Roberts said to Jack Harris of the California Post. "They all felt their time was coming. They all felt that their roles were really valued. I don't think that any head coach or manager can say that."
"I was ready for the opportunity," Rojas said following the Dodgers' 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. "This is what I've been doing for the team the last couple years. I wasn't the everyday shortstop last year. Something happened and I had to step in and play shortstop. Same thing with the opportunity this year. I wasn't playing that much early in the year, but always ready for the opportunity. When you're ready and when you know your role, you're always going to be ready for the opportunity."
The Los Angeles Dodgers' 2025 championship followed a roster-wide buy-in and strong clubhouse culture that complemented the team's star talent. Manager Dave Roberts reported full trust in his decisions, reflecting player commitment and valued roles. Team chemistry and camaraderie underpinned postseason resilience. Veteran infielder Miguel Rojas stepped in after a three-week absence, executed a game-ending double play in Game 6 to extend the series to a decisive Game 7, and contributed in the Dodgers' 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. The organization's reputation for culture and role clarity also helped attract free agents.
