Multiple disappointing October outcomes over the next three seasons earned the Dodgers an infamous reputation as some of baseball\u2019s biggest chokers.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the 2024 season, a year where injuries plagued the Dodgers from position players to the pitching staff. By the time October rolled around, the Dodgers were left with three starting pitchers and an injured\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dodgersnation.com\/player\/freddie-freeman\/\">Freddie Freeman<\/a>. The 2024 campaign seemed the least likely time for the Dodgers to win it all.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, in the face of adversity, the Dodgers endured until the end. Even as the reigning World Series champions this winter, the Dodgers have continued to add star talent to the roster.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Right-hander\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dodgersnation.com\/player\/landon-knack\/\">Landon Knack<\/a>\u00a0explained the reason behind the organization\u2019s recent moves in a conversation with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7b3-SnET7-M?si=B51gqqxgLolmUGFg\">Dodgers Nation\u2019s Doug McKain.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can tell just from everything that we\u2019re doing, the way we\u2019re going about it, and kind of the mindset, obviously you\u2019re seeing from Mookie, and obviously Shohei, and all of them, is they want to make this a dynasty,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7b3-SnET7-M?si=B51gqqxgLolmUGFg\">Knack said to McKain<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBaseball hasn\u2019t had a real dynasty in a long time, where people have really been able to run off championships. And I think we have a real opportunity to be able to do that. And so it\u2019s kind of like, really the hungriness of all of them, that they just want to get out there and they just want to win them. And so you can see everything we\u2019re doing, we\u2019re putting in a good spot to be able to do that, and so I\u2019m excited to kind of see what we do as we\u2019re moving into this next season.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"stream-item-size\">\n<p>When one thinks of sports dynasties there are a few that immediately come to mind: Tom Brady\u2019s tenure with the New England Patriots, the Los Angeles Lakers in the Showtime era, and the unforgettable New York Yankees coined as Murderers\u2019 Row.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers made it clear that the organization wants these coming years to be the golden era of Los Angeles baseball, where trophies are many and shortcomings are few.<\/p>\n<p>This offseason will be crucial in helping build just that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After winning the World Series in a shortened 2020 season, the Los Angeles Dodgers could never escape their postseason demons in the following seasons.
