Winning two out of the last three World Series will put a target on your back. The Los Angeles Dodgers are used to opposing teams' fans and media coming at them, but usually it's after they've done something. This offseason, they haven't done anything yet.
That hasn't stopped the hot takes from coming in, particularly from the blowhards in the New York media. The New York Mets are particularly obsessed with the Dodgers, and after missing the playoffs last season they have a lot of work to do to get on LA's level despite throwing a lot of cash around.
