What Dodgers’ World Series Win Means For Red Sox’s Offseason Plans

It’s only natural for teams to take the blueprint of the World Series champion, and it’s clear how the Red Sox should attack the offseason.

The Dodgers and New York Yankees obviously came in with star-studded rosters. However, Los Angeles got the little things more right than the Bronx Bombers which helped it win the Fall Classic.

The Boston Globe’s Julian McWilliams highlighted the key factors of the Dodgers’ World Series win on NESN’s “310 To Left” podcast.

“I think you’re reminded of that every postseason where it’s like defense and pitching,” McWilliams told NESN’s Jahmai Webster. “In large part, the reason why the Dodgers won the World Series is because of defense and pitching.”

McWilliams highlighted how there were questions if Los Angeles’ starting rotation could hold up. That group held its end of the bargain, and The Boston Globe reporter also noted Mookie Betts made key defensive plays that held the Yankees offense back in the series.
