The Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off one of the more impressive MLB seasons in recent history.
They were the World Series favorites heading into the year given their free-agent acquisitions and player signings, and ended up fulfilling the prophecy, winning the Fall Classic.
Many baseball fans were frustrated by the way the Dodgers conducted business, citing their player deferrals and their depth into the luxury tax as big problems for the future of baseball.
The Dodgers have their sights on winning, and winning alone, and don’t seem to care about the outside noise and frustration with how they’ve run things lately.
If anything, the Dodgers have spent this offseason sticking their wealth in other team’s faces, signing even more high-caliber players.
One of which was Roki Sasaki, a pitcher who is said to make an immediate impact on the future of the Dodgers, and in the league as a whole.
Magic Johnson, a part-owner of the team, made sure to give a welcoming statement to Sasaki on X once the team made his signing official.
I want to give a warm welcome to Roki Sasaki! Can’t wait to see you pitch this season in our Dodger blue

Johnson has seen a lot of high-caliber players coming in and out of Los Angeles, whether it’s with the Dodgers, Lakers, or another sports team in the area.
L.A. seems to attract some of the best players in the world given how strong the market is for promoting personal brands, so it’s not necessarily surprising that people want to play for the Dodgers.
Their system worked out well for them last season, but will it work for another year, resulting in their second-straight World Series title?
