"The Los Angeles Dodgers eliminated the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games to become baseball's first repeat World Series champion since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees. The Dodgers had to overcome numerous injuries to get back to the Fall Classic and started playing up to their potential when key players returned in the second half. As they got back to full health, the Dodgers looked like the juggernaut that many expected them to be."
"Of course it's a concern. They do have tremendous resources, and they've gotten the job done. That's the big thing. They've played to their potential when they needed to. They have overcome a lot of injuries this year. Again, they got healthy at the right time. I don't know what next year is going to bring. But of course it's always a concern anytime I feel that one team is pulling away from the other 29, (or) selfishly pulling away from me."
The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series by defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games, becoming baseball's first repeat champion since the 1998–2000 New York Yankees. The team overcame numerous injuries and regained form when key players returned in the second half, then dominated postseason opponents including the Reds, Phillies and Brewers before securing a hard-fought final series win. New York Yankees chairman Hal Steinbrenner expressed concern about the Dodgers' resources and competitiveness. Some owners, including Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort, have called for a salary cap, and collective bargaining talks are expected to feature debates over spending limits. The Dodgers also invest heavily in player development.
