The Los Angeles Dodgers are now officially looking toward the 2026 season after capturing back-to-back World Series with their thrilling Game 7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
First and foremost, Los Angeles will look at playoff performance as something of a barometer as to how much they can trust certain pieces for 2026. In other cases, they've already seen enough from certain players to know whether it's time to move on or if a particular guy has earned more playing time once next season kicks off.
Great teams are always evaluating and planning for the future, and the Dodgers are just that.
