There was a point in time when the National League West looked like the most competitive division in all of baseball. Last offseason, the Arizona Diamondbacks spent big on Corbin Burnes, the San Francisco Giants nabbed Willy Adames, and although the San Diego Padres had a quieter offseason, they emptied their farm system at the trade deadline. None of it mattered as the Los Angeles Dodgers won their second consecutive World Series.
The Dodgers weren't wire-to-wire dominant in 2025. There were some hiccups, some trials and tribulations, and some disappointments. However, when it mattered most, LA turned it on and got the job done.
