For those who continue to say – and believe – the Dodgers are “ruining baseball,” I’ve got some bad news for you. While fans of those teams claiming the Dodgers are “ruining baseball,” two-time consecutive World Series champion Dodgers owners Mark Walter, Magic Johnson, Peter Guber, Stan Kasten, Bobby Patton, and Todd Boehly (i.e. – Guggenheim Baseball Management) are already taking steps to become Major League Baseball’s next three-peat team, of which there have been only four in what will be MLB’s storied 157-year history. If that prevail, they will join the New York Yankees (1936–1939, 1949–1953) and 1998–2000, and the Oakland Athletics (1972–1974) to do so.

- Ryan Ward: The outfielder was also added to the 40-man roster.
- Eliézer Alfonzo: The catcher was signed to a minor league contract.
