The Los Angeles Dodgers are the first team in 25 years to win back-to-back World Series Championships. They have also made it clear they are hungry for more. With the top payroll in baseball which exceeds 300 million dollars, some are suggesting that the Dodgers will have a busy offseason as well. Baseball insider Ken Rosenthal was on Foul Territory this morning reporting that rival executives expect Los Angeles to go all in 2026.
MLB Insider: Dodgers May Spend A Lot In Free Agency
The Dodgers might be even more active than usual this offseason, says @Ken_Rosenthal.

Is A Work Stoppage Looming?
The Dodgers spend close to 75 percent of their revenue to better themselves as a ball club. This makes it a popular destination for top talent. However, Major League Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement is set to expire at the end of next season. Most people expect that if a strike is to be avoided, the next agreement will have to include a salary cap or spending restrictions. Thus, the Dodgers will move quickly to pay top dollar for the players they need to maintain the momentum going forward. As Rosenthal says, “This might be the last chance…for the Dodgers to go all in once more.”
What Could the World Champs Need?
The Dodgers may be looking for someone else to patrol right field. Teoscar Hernandez who signed a contract extension last winter did not have the best year in 2o25. He struggled with injuries all season and his offensive production was down last year. His defense was even worse. Los Angeles has already been linked to free agent Kyle Tucker who had a good year with the Chicago Cubs before a hand injury slowed him down. The Dodgers could also reinforce their relief core. High-leverage options Evan Phillips and Tanner Scott will be coming off injuries next year.There is no guarantee how effective they will be.
Ruining Baseball?
Are the Dodgers ruining baseball? No. But they will happily spend the money they need, to keep on winning.
