"The thing I can't do is make moves based on what people think we should do,"
"We're going to make mistakes. We're going to be aggressive taking shots."
"Our goal is to be essentially the casino: be right more than we're wrong, and have it yield a really good product that has a chance to win the World Series."
Los Angeles made minimal moves at the trade deadline, adding only Alex Call and Brock Stewart while foregoing blockbuster pickups. Several rivals, including the Padres and Phillies, pursued big acquisitions but ultimately fell short. Brock Stewart made four appearances before landing on the injured list, and Alex Call has played a reduced but effective role. Starting pitching performed exceptionally and the bullpen showed massive improvement, lessening the need for deadline pitching additions. The team topped its division and reached the World Series despite limited in-season transactions. Front office patience aimed to be right more often than wrong while accepting some mistakes and targeted selective, lower-risk moves.
