For the most part, Dodgers fans have it great. Maybe like 99.9% great. A great team with great veterans and talented young budding stars have made LA once again a top team in baseball. But still, for fans, it won’t mean much of anything if Clayton Kershaw and co aren’t hoisting the World Series trophy at the end of October. Likely virtually.
The Dodgers have been close in two of the last three seasons. Each time the club has put much of the burden of success on the arms of Kershaw and closer Kenley Jansen. After an early October exit in 2019, the club went out and reloaded, bringing in some help for a shaky backend of the bullpen.
