NEW YORK — “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
For the Los Angeles Dodgers, that phrase has rung true since they last won the World Series in 2020. Their roster has never been void of talent; in fact, they’ve continued to add in recent years. But while L.A. has been one of, if not the most talented MLB team on paper for a while, something was missing. The Dodgers often lacked a certain kind of grit or toughness to push them over the top.
Time and time again this season and postseason, however, the 2024 Dodgers showed that they are not that same team.
