Show Notes
The Los Angeles Dodgers revolutionized their postseason travel in 2024 by chartering two separate planes, one for players and another for staff and gear. This move aimed to boost team bonds and create envy in the league. Despite spending over $527 million in salaries and taxes for 2026, the Dodgers rank high in efficiency, getting more wins per dollar than rivals like the Mets or Yankees from 2023 to 2025. Their success stems from a strong culture, with stars like Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Shohei Ohtani setting high standards. Ohtanis deferrals freed up money for top pitchers, and recent deals show players taking less to join the winning team. This blend of smarts, selflessness, and grit positions the Dodgers for a potential three-peat, the first in the National League since the free agency era began.
