The Los Angeles Dodgers finished second in a poll from The Athletic to decide which team had the best front office in the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB.
The only team to finish above them is the Oklahoma City Thunder, who just won the NBA Championship in June.
The Dodgers are one of two MLB teams in the Top 10, with the Milwaukee Brewers ranking fifth in the poll. The Dodgers, Thunder and third-place Florida Panthers garnered nearly 70 percent of the vote collectively, beating out the rest of the teams included comfortably.

Oklahoma City finished with 24.3 percent of the vote, followed by the Dodgers’ 23.9 percent while the Panthers finished with 20.5 percent.
The Athletic only listed one other baseball team, the Tampa Bay Rays, who finished 11th with 1.3 percent of the vote. They also had an “other” category, which finished in sixth with 3.8 percent of the vote.
As far as the rest of the Top 10 goes, NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles placed fourth, NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning finished seventh, the NBA’s Boston Celtics ranked eighth, the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams took ninth and the NHL’s Dallas Stars rounded out the Top 10.
It’s no wonder the Dodgers lead the MLB in votes and nearly took the top spot, as they have been perhaps the most dominant team in the league since the beginning of the 2010s. The Dodgers have won the last two World Series championships due to their smart spending during the offseason, and could very well be on their way to a third in 2026.
“They’re a behemoth, but also a behemoth built brick by brick for a long time by [president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman],” an anonymous MLB general manager said of the Dodgers. “You don’t just become a behemoth without doing 100 extraordinary things to win all the time, build players’ value and build the team in different ways. Now they have the platform to do seemingly whatever they want.”

LA has more than enough resources to continue their domination, and will look to do so in the upcoming season. The Dodgers have never recorded a three-peat, and will look to become just the third franchise in MLB history to do so in 2026.
