The Los Angeles Dodgers won their second consecutive World Series in 2025 (defeating the Blue Jays 4-3), a remarkable feat considering their massive bullpen weakness.
The team posted a 93-69 regular season record and won the championship without home-field advantage in any series, but they did so despite blowing 27 save opportunities.
The front office wasted no time fixing their biggest flaw, signing star closer Edwin Díaz away from the Mets. Díaz is coming off a stellar 2025 season where he:
Converted 28 of 31 save chances (90.3% rate).
Posted an elite 1.63 ERA over 62 appearances.
Registered a dominant 0.87 WHIP.
Díaz's presence instantly transforms the Dodgers' late-game outlook, giving the back-to-back champions the finality they sorely lacked as they pursue a historic third straight title.
