The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a near-perfect offseason, but especially in the world of sports, perfection doesn’t exist.
Bringing in Cy Young award winners, international stars, veteran standouts, and key pieces from last season, the Dodgers are building a team whose sole purpose is to become baseball’s first repeat champions in a quarter-century.
