The Transformation of the Dodgers

Over the last decade, the Los Angeles Dodgers have undergone a significant transformation, evolving from a struggling franchise to the second most valuable team in Major League Baseball. This change began with the team's acquisition by Guggenheim Baseball Management, which invested heavily in the franchise and emphasized the importance of analytics. The initial struggles included a low payroll and a lack of fan engagement, as seen when they were outdrawn by the Angels for the first time in 62 years. With new ownership and a focus on modern strategies, the Dodgers shifted their approach, resulting in notable financial gains and competitive success.
