Andrew Friedman’s Motivation For Dodgers To Repeat As World Series Champions

Since Andrew Friedman took over as president of baseball operations, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been the most successful organization in baseball, winning the National League West every year and more regular-season games than any other club.

The only problem was that up until 2020, the Dodgers had not been able to finish the job and win the World Series. They came close twice, reaching the Fall Classic in both 2017 and 2018, but ultimately came up short both times.

They finally broke their championship drought this year, however, finishing with the best record in baseball before sweeping both the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres in the first two rounds of the postseason, overcoming a 3-1 deficit to beat the Atlanta Braves in the National League Championship Series and then defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in six games to win the World Series.
