""Who wouldn't want to be the focus and do what our organization is doing for the city and fans? To be quite frank, we draw more than anyone as far as any sports venue in the world.

Los Angeles Dodgers signed Blake Snell, Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates and re-signed Blake Treinen, Teoscar Hernández, Clayton Kershaw and Kiké Hernández after the 2024 World Series. The offseason spending sparked calls for an MLB salary cap to be included in the collective bargaining agreement by 2027. Manager Dave Roberts framed the team's spending as reciprocation for drawing nearly 4 million fans and embraced being painted as a villain. The team faced injuries and inconsistent regular-season play but surged in the playoffs with a 9-1 stretch and an NLCS sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers, with Shohei Ohtani named NLCS MVP.
