Dodgers News: Dodgers Remain Focused on Three-Peat
As the Dodgers celebrate their 2025 championship and consecutive titles at home, one thing is certain: their pursuit of a third straight title starts today.
LOS ANGELES, CA—With a Game Seven victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers cemented themselves in history.
The 2025 Dodgers are the first repeat World Series champions in over 25 years, the first since the New York Yankees, who won three in a row from 1998-2000.
They’re the first team in franchise history to win back-to-back titles and have won three since the start of the 2020s.
Over the last 13 years, the Dodgers have been the pinnacle of the sport, winning the National League West 12 times. Thirteen straight postseason appearances, one shy of the all-time record of fourteen held by the 1990s Atlanta Braves.
Led by ten-year manager Dave Roberts, the team has appeared in the National League Championship Series seven times and has won the National League pennant five times.
However, despite all this success, the players and the organization are craving more, and that was made even more apparent at this year’s celebration at Dodger Stadium, with multiple members stating their desire for a three-peat.
“What’s better than two?” manager Dave Roberts asked at the team’s rally at Dodger Stadium on Monday. “Three — three-peat! Three-peat!”
Roberts stated that he had obtained permission from his friend Pat Riley to utilize the phrase that Riley, the Miami Heat president, trademarked in 1988.
Soft-spoken team owner Mark Walter, who is rarely seen, promised to return next year for another championship celebration.
First baseman Freddie Freeman addressed a sold-out crowd, saying, “Job in 2024, done. Job in 2025, done. Job in 2026 starts now.”
Having secured three titles in the past six years, the Dodgers now aim to match the New York Yankees, the only team to win three consecutive championships from 1998 to 2000.
“I’m already thinking about the third time we’re going to do this,” two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani said.
The Dodgers have already solidified themselves as the sport’s next dynasty, a goal of current President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman, who declared this period of the team as “the golden era of Dodgers baseball.”
“I think definitionally it’s a dynasty,” Friedman said. “For me, it’s still evolving and growing, and we want to add to it and we want to continue it and do everything we can to put it at a level where people after us have a hard time reaching.”
The team is now attempting to join an even more exclusive group of just five teams in sports history that have won three consecutive championships. The New York Yankees achieved three-peats during 1936-1939, 1949-1953, and 1998-2000. The only other team in the league to win three straight titles was the Oakland Athletics, who accomplished this from 1972 to 1974.
The Dodgers are in a prime position to join those teams in sports history as a majority of their roster is set to return in 2026, including all members of their historic starting rotation.
The offense will still have the MVP trio of Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman atop the lineup.
They’ll be big players in free agency and the trade market this offseason, particularly for an outfielder, and have already been connected with the league’s top free agent, Kyle Tucker.
They possess a strong ownership committed to driving success for the organization. Veteran manager Dave Roberts has raised his performance following consecutive titles, and the front office is regarded as one of the best not only in baseball but across all sports.
