The Los Angeles Dodgers have unveiled their special ticket packages for the 2026 season, including exclusive giveaways for buying tickets to specific games. The Dodgers are getting ready to defend their World Series title, hoping to achieve the first three-peat in more than two decades of baseball. With the season quickly approaching, the Dodgers released their select dates for celebrating parts of the fanbase or following a theme. For these events, the team gives away a piece of merchandise, but a special event ticket is required, so not every ticket is eligible to receive the item on the day of the giveaway.

The Brewers drafted Hiura with the ninth overall pick in the 2017 MLB Amateur Draft and powered him through the minor leagues. He made his debut for Milwaukee in 2019, and he had a solid 84-game season. He hit 19 homers and drove in 49 runs while keeping a .938 OPS. His numbers took a stark drop in the shortened 2020 season, though, as he led the league with 85 strikeouts and saw his batting average fall to .212 from .303.

On Feb. 10, 2020, the Los Angeles Dodgers finalized their three-team trade with the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins to acquire Mookie Betts and David Price. It marked the end of a whirlwind period that saw multiple deals fall apart. The Red Sox initially were set to receive Alex Verdugo and Brusdar Graterol, but sought additional compensation after taking issue with the latter's medicals. The right-hander instead was sent to the Dodgers for a package that centered around Kenta Maeda.

Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on their victory, but all they and the New England Patriots proved is that sometimes the big game is nothing but a big boring slog. Especially compared to the 2025 World Series in which the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers told a story full of drama, excitement and memorable moments over a seven game series that went down to the wire.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers traded Davey Lopes to the Oakland Athletics for Lance Hudson on February 8, 1982, it marked the end of the longest-running infield in MLB history. That stretch began June 23, 1973, when the Dodgers lineup included Steve Garvey at first base, Lopes at second base, Ron Cey at third base and Bill Russell playing shortstop in the second game of a doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds.

On February 7, 1987, Orel Hershiser signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers for $800,000, taking a pay cut of 20% from his previous season's salary. It was only the second time since MLB implemented the rule that a player takes less pay due to salary arbitration. During the first Collective Bargaining Agreement between MLB and the Players Association in 1968, the max salary reduction allowed was set at 20%.

The Dodgers have won back-to-back titles and had only two real weaknesses last year - no impact closer and below-average defense in right field. Well, they addressed both of those areas, signing the top closer in the NL, Edwin Díaz, and the top-overall free agent, Kyle Tucker, to play right field. They had the best team in baseball before those moves; now, they're set up nicely to three-peat, clear favorites to win it all again.

"Infusing young players over that time is going to be really important for us to be able to maintain (this level of success),"

"I've really planned to play any position they ask," Rushing said at DodgerFest on Saturday. "Whether I've played it before or I haven't, just - like I said - take advantage of every opportunity. I know catching, first base are going to be the main two."

The Los Angeles Dodgers have established a dynasty with back-to-back World Series titles and three in the last six seasons, but despite their recent success, they haven't slowed down. Many teams often regress after winning a World Series, and some owners use the championship as a reason to lower the payroll moving forward, as they know their fans will be satisfied by the World Series victory. But the Dodgers have acted in the opposite way.
