If the Dodgers are to build a legacy and even start a conversation about a potential dynasty, they need to win more than just division titles.
In a blockbuster trade Friday, the Dodgers acquired closer Craig Kimbrel from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for outfielder AJ Pollock.became the president of baseball operations in the winter before the 2015 season, he and Guggenheim Baseball Management have combined to spend more money and acquire more stars than anyone in the sport.
Do they want a nickname like the Big Red Machine, Murderer’s Row, or the Swingin’ A’s? Do they want to be remembered forever like the 1996-2000 New York Yankees or even the 2010-2014 San Francisco Giants? Or do they want to be a one-trick act like the Atlanta Braves, who won 14 consecutive division championships from 1991 to 2005 yet captured only one World Series championship during that time?
There is much debate about whether that Braves team constituted a dynasty. The correct answer is, they didn’t. The Merriam-Webster definition of a dynasty is: “A succession of rulers of the same line of descent.” If you don’t win a succession of World Series championships — at least two, OK? — then you’re not ruling.Finish the job.
