The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated back-to-back World Series titles on Monday at their championship parade and rally.

As players and executives spoke to a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd, it became increasingly clear the Dodgers aren’t done winning rings. The ongoing theme of the celebration was the Dodgers’ desire to three-peat.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts cemented the team’s desire to win their third consecutive World Series title in 2026: “What’s better than two? Three! Three-peat! Three-peat!”
President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman doubled down as he spoke to elated Dodgers fans at Chavez Ravine.
“To the most loyal and dedicated fans in all of sports, I have a crazy idea for you: How about we do it again?” Friedman said.
Dodgers owner Mark Walter kept his speech short and sweet, but the message was the same.
“All I have to say to you is, we’ll be back next year,” Walter said.
Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani delivered a speech in English to a sold out crowd at Dodger Stadium, and concluded with a resounding statement.
“I’m ready to get another ring next year,” Ohtani said.
Dodgers star Freddie Freeman emphasized how hungry the team is to return to their winning ways next season.
“Job in 2024, done. Job in 2025, done. Job in 2026? Starts now,” Freddie Freeman declared.
Mookie Betts, who is the only active player with four World Series rings, told fans at the championship rally he needs one more ring.
“I got four. Now it’s time to fill the hand all the way up, baby. Three-peat ain’t never sounded so sweet. Somebody make that a T-shirt,” Betts said.
Fan favorite Kiké Hernández declared the Dodgers as a dynasty after winning three World Series titles in the last six years. The utility man has been a part of all three championships.
“My teammates have been pretty humble. But I think it’s time to talk that shit,” Hernandez said. “Everybody’s been asking questions about a dynasty. How about three in six years? How about a back-to-back? Yeah, we’re a mother f’ing dynasty, baby!”
Hernandez added, with a mic drop: “And I want to take this time to apologize –– to absolutely fucking nobody.”
World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto addressed Dodgers fans, first in Spanish then in English.
“Buenas tardes. You know what? Losing isn’t an option … We did it together. I love the Dodgers! I love Los Angeles!” Yamamoto said.
The speeches concluded with future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw addressing the fans, his teammates and the organization.
“Last year, I said I was a Dodger for life. And today, that’s true. And today, I get to say that I’m a champion for life,” Kershaw said. And that’s never going away.”

LA Dodger have always been my Team, I remember all the great players (Maury Wills), etc. The Dodgers always had good pitching. My concern for next year is relief pitchers, get the best relief pitchers, dodgers lost a lot of games from 7 innings thru the 9 inning.
We can do better and yes, a 3 Repeat will happen. Great starting Pitchers !!! Great Hitters !!!
Relief Pitchers Needed !!!
Lets hope Scott has a better 2026 than 2025. That would go a long way in improving the bullpen. We really need to improve the outfield. Hopefully Edman can play CF next year so we can move Pages to RF and Teo back to LF. Personally, I wish they would trade Teo to a team that needs a DH.
