NL West Division Titles

Lore & Background

The Dodgers look to become the first team to three-peat since the 2000 New York Yankees, as well as the first National League team to accomplish this feat. This was the Dodgers first season since 2007 to not include pitcher Clayton Kershaw on the active roster, as he retired after the 2025 season. This will also be the last season for utilityman and 2025 World Series hero, Miguel Rojas, who will join the front office after the season.

The air at Dodger Stadium hung heavy with the scent of cut grass and the electric hum of anticipation as the final out of the regular season snapped into the catcher's mitt. The scoreboard flickered to life, confirming what the sea of blue already knew: another NL West crown secured. Outside, the Los Angeles night sky stretched above the canyon lights, indifferent to the statistics but witnessing history once again. A young pitcher looked up at the board, seeing his name etched among the division champions, realizing he was part of a lineage that refused to let go of the top spot.
