Part 4/15:
The Dodgers' Model: The Gold Standard in Baseball
The narrative around the Dodgers often involves criticism, but the hosts emphasize that their dominance isn't unfair—it’s a testament to meticulous organizational prowess. Their success is rooted in filling out rosters with talent on the margins, developing homegrown stars, and leveraging advanced analytics.
DeO points out that the Dodgers excel at supplementing stars with complementary pieces—like complete games from Yamamoto, clutch hitting from undervalued players, and strong defense. Their ability to spend and build on the margins gives them an edge that other teams should aspire to match.
