Glenel, Areez – five years ago, Mookie best She stood in the middle of a club here and presented himself to a new Los Angeles Dodgers The teammates by informing them mainly that they need to master the details in February if they wanted to raise the cup in October.
On Tuesday, at the beginning of the season in which the evaders will face massive expectations, Betts conveyed a similar message.
The Bings said on the day that many Dodgers players underwent their physical exams before we continue to think that we are champions again. ” . But we cannot continue to talk about the global series. “
It was not long before the evaders resemble something like the Greek tragedy-where he continued to present stars inlaid and dominates normal seasons, only to absorb the tremendous disappointment in the qualifiers. Everything has changed in the past fall, when one of the lists of evading deep deep San Diego PadresSend crying New York Mets And he did a quick job of dirty New York Yanxiz To capture the first title for concession since 2020 – the first in a full season since 1988.
The evaders followed by doubling what was already one of the most decorated menus in the history of the baseball, ensuring approximately 400 million dollars to nine players: Blake Senilfor Tanner Scottfor Teskar Hernandezfor Michael Conforatofor Kirby Yatesfor Hayesj Kimfor Rocky Sasakifor Enrique Hernandez and Clayton KirchoThe latter is expected to be official by Wednesday.
According to Spotrac, Dodgers’ competitive salary statements in 2025 projects amounting to $ 385 million, according to Spotra, are about $ 65 million more than Mets in second place. Through all this, they became a target of complaints about the state of sport. Malcon restricted the financial capabilities of Dodgers to pay them to a maximum salary. The fans have faltered in their use of delay – the most prominent of which are with AutaniWho allocated $ 680 million to retire – to complete deals. Executive officials established the recruitment process in Sasaki, believing that his signature with the dodgers is inevitable.
“People will always find something to complain about,” Dodger III’s base Max Monsey He said. “We are just trying to take care of our business and put ourselves in a good place to make the post -season.”
Major LEGUE BASBALL had no frequent champion since Yankees won third consecutive in 2000, but Dodgers had a good opportunity. PECOTA, which runs thousands of simulations to drop the total victory for the next season, has 104 wins in 2025, at least 11 more than any other team.
The reasons are clear. Dodgers – Sanil, Sasaki, Yoshinobo Yamamotofor Tyler Glasno In the end, Utani and Kircho – is among the best in this sport with his full strength. Their assortment – with Utani, Pits, Freddy FreemanTescar Hernandez, Monsi, Will SmithConferto and Tommy addiction Forming eight points, perhaps with this arrangement – is one of the most fierce in history. The bulls have already added strength, Scott and Weets to a display group Michael Kubicfor Blake Treeninfor Ivan Philips and Alex FeziaAmong other things. If the strains are still possible in an unpredictable sport with the post -season field constantly, it appears that the evaders are prepared to become one. But this is not something that their players want to embrace publicly.
I taught them their failure in the qualifiers.
“The thing in this sport is that it does not matter the type of menu that you have – once again, the difference showed that you are in the qualifiers, anything can happen.” “You look at DiamondBacks two years ago, I got to the world series with [84] Win. Technically, they improved last year – they achieved 89 wins – and they did not make the qualifiers.
“It is one of those things where, all you have to do is enter the post -season, and anything can happen in this sport. You can get the best player in the world in this sport, and he cannot always seize him in others sport, where You have the best player in the American Professional League, you will most of them will take a game.
Thus, Dodgers played a lot of their time on Tuesday to reject questions related to family building and chase the record for the normal season at all-116, which he recorded in 1906 Chicago Cubs And 2001 Seattle Marines Instead, I talked about the importance of maintaining their edge.
Dodgers will not host the first full exercise of the square until Saturday, but the majority of their players- Miga Freiman, who returned in Los Angeles going through the final stages of surgically repaired ankle rehabilitation- took the ground balls on the Camelback farm. The same can be said to the majority of their jugs, who started out early throwing programs to expect an ordinary season that will start March 18 from Japan.
Monsi has taken it as a sign that this team is “more hungry than ever”.
“We did not win last year because we are talking about the global series every day,” said Bates. “I think we won last year because we talked about the offered task. I think we must continue to talk about the task that does not worry about the ultimate goal. We have a final goal, but you have to .
