The Los Angeles Dodgers accomplished both on-field success and financial stability under the management of Guggenheim Baseball Management. The team made multiple appearances, winning the National League and the World Series in the year 2020. In their most recent season which was in 2022, they had their maximum wins, i.e 111.

The Dodgers sent shockwaves across the MLB landscape by signing Shohei Ohtani to a whopping $700 million deal - the largest contract ever in North American sports history. This deal will also help Dodgers elevate its status globally due to Ohtani’s international appeal and marketability.

The addition of Ohtani into the Dodgers' lineup will transform the team into an even more fierce competitor. The partnership between Ohtani and existing stars like Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman could help elevate Dodgers' chances of making deep playoff runs.

Under Guggenheim Baseball Management, the Los Angeles Dodgers remain a dominant force in MLB, consistently competing at the highest level. The ownership group's strategic vision has not only ensured the team's financial stability but also established them as a perennial competitor.

The addition of Shohei Ohtani to the team further exemplifies their commitment towards excellence. Ohtani’s skill set will not only improve their performance on field, but also expand Dodger’s fan base globally.

The Dodgers have done exceptionally well during the regular season.
