While other MLB clubs are racing to the bottom, the Dodgers continue to aim for the top, as they proved again by adding yet another MVP to their roster.
for six years and $162 million was almost preordained after the Atlanta Braves acquired Olson, also a left-handed hitting first baseman, and signed him for eight years and $168 million.
And let’s ignore the actuarial tables for a moment, even though I know baseball people find that difficult to do. In 2021, a year after winning the National League’s MVP award, Freeman produced 31 home runs, 83 RBIs, a 133 OPS+ and a 4.7 WAR for a World Series champion, winning his third Silver Slugger award and finishing ninth in MVP balloting. He scored four runs and drove in four in the NLCS against the Dodgers, including two home runs, and added five RBIs in the World Series against Houston.
This is the Dodger Way, and in a greater sense, it’s the L.A. Way, as we’ve pointed out plenty of times. The currency that matters here is winning, and if it means taking that big swing to acquire a guy who can help get it done, you do it. The post-McCourt 2012 Dodgers went 88-74 and missed the second wild-card spot by two games. They haven’t missed the postseason since, have won more than 100 games three times in the last five years, and have made it clear with every decision that one World Series championship isn’t enough.
