Part 3/15:
Despite heartbreak for Blue Jays fans, the narrative highlighted the importance of depth and veteran savvy. The Blue Jays, with a young and exciting core, demonstrated that smart roster construction can propel a team deep into the postseason. Meanwhile, the Dodgers, reigning champions, once again displayed their organizational excellence—spreading their talent across the roster and emphasizing the significance of building from within, rather than just acquiring superstars.
The Dodgers’ approach—meticulous team building, deep roster talent, and savvy signings—continues to set the standard. Rogers admires their operation and hopes the Mets emulate their model, focusing on development, analytics, and strategic signings to remain competitive.
