LA Teams Shine Bright in Sports

The LA Dodgers are in a challenging position. They boast a team beloved by many, but some players are aging. Freddie Freeman and Miguel Rojas, among others, will be in their mid-30s by the next World Series.

Normally, a team this old would consider major changes. However, these Dodgers are unique. They share a deep connection with the city and its fans. Players like Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani are like family to many Angelenos. Breaking up this team could be a significant mistake.
