""I think the biggest thing with that is just taking it one game at a time. Doing your research, trusting it, being OK with being wrong. The one that stands out are the Dodgers, which is awesome. I think it just gives you an opportunity to go out and compete against some of the best players in baseball - and that's awesome. Dive into that energy, have a game plan and trust it. Go out there and execute. That's really all there is to it.""
""It's certainly going to take a team effort to win those games, but just being able to compete at the level is going to be awesome. I love playing in LA. I love playing against the best in the world. They certainly have a bunch of those. And it's a challenge for when it comes because it's coming in hot in April. So I'm going to do my part, play my game and do my best to help my team win.""
Harrison Bader agreed to a two-year, $20.5 million contract with the San Francisco Giants and expressed eagerness to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2026. He emphasized taking games one at a time, doing research, trusting a game plan, and being okay with being wrong. Bader identified the Dodgers as the standout team in the division and welcomed the opportunity to compete against top players. He noted the need for a team effort and the early-season challenge arriving in April. In 2025 Bader played for the Twins and Phillies, hit .277 with 17 home runs, 54 RBIs and a .796 OPS, and went 1-for-2 with a sacrifice fly in the NLDS loss to the Dodgers.
