Everything has been just fine for the Los Angeles Dodgers and their fanbase over the last two seasons. After making it their mission to build a superteam through the open market, they did just that and have played well up to their potential.
They won the World Series in 2024 and did the same thing last season to make it a two-peat. They come into the 2026 season looking for the three-peat, something that has not been done since the New York Yankees did it back in 1998,1999, and 2000.
To make sure they will come out strong this upcoming season, they went out and made some fantastic offseason moves. One of these was shoring up their bullpen, something that gave them trouble last year, by signing Edwin Diaz.

Latest MLB Power Rankings should come as no surprise to Dodgers fans
There is no denying that the Dodgers are one of the strongest teams in the sport. Between Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki, this looks more like an All-Star team than a regular MLB club.
So, as MLB.com's latest Power Rankings came out, the Dodgers were ranked as the best, followed by the team that they played in the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays.
"The Dodgers are getting older, particularly in the lineup, which is why you really can't take your eyes off them this offseason: You can sense them lurking in the weeds on a lot of free agents. Either way, they're the favorites to win a third straight World Series title, even if they stand pat for the rest of the winter (which they surely won't)."
MLB.com's Will Leitch likes them even if they do not make another move this offseason. However, he does not believe that will be the case, and fans should not be surprised if they sign a valuable asset in the next few weeks.
