The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees to win their eighth World Series title in franchise history.
After winning the championship, the Dodgers came into the offseason and continued to further improve their roster by adding some key pitchers.
The Dodgers acquired starting pitcher Blake Snell from the San Francisco Giants, starting pitcher Roki Sasaki from Japan, and relief pitcher Tanner Scott from the San Diego Padres.
Sasaki reportedly was deciding between the Dodgers, Padres and Toronto Blue Jays.
MLB analyst Ken Rosenthal recently revealed the main reason he chose the Dodgers.
“What he said was, ‘The stability of the front office,’” Rosenthal said, via Foul Territory.

Sasaki was expected to go to the Dodgers initially, but it was thought that was due to fellow Japanese stars Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani being on the team.
The Dodgers also have been a winning organization for several years, which would likely lure a free agent to choose his first MLB team.
Rosenthal appears to think the statement about the front office is interesting, and many baseball fans likely are thinking the same thing.
Sasaki is reported to have an electric arm and has the opportunity to become one of the best pitchers in the game.
The Dodgers may choose to use Sasaki sparingly in his first MLB season as he has never thrown more than 130 innings in a season.
