The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their ninth franchise championship this past Saturday and by Monday afternoon, they were celebrating their title back home with a victory parade. As the organization enjoyed its winnings with Dodgers Nation, many are left wondering how long this current dynasty will continue.

On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss all the excitement from the team’s victory tour and ponder whether the Commissioner’s Trophy could end up back in the City of Angels next year. They also try to make sense of the impact this Dodgers dynasty is having on the game of baseball after Dave Roberts’ remark that they were going to “ruin” the sport.

Later, Jake and Jordan examine the Gold Glove winners while trying to understand what truly determines what wins it and they review the notable players opting in and out of their contracts for the 2026 season. All this and much more on the first official offseason episode of the show.
