Five Former Braves Compete in 2025 World Series with Dodgers and Blue Jays

The 2025 World Series features the Toronto Blue Jays facing off against the Los Angeles Dodgers, with notable participation from former Atlanta Braves players. Freddie Freeman, the 2024 World Series MVP now with the Dodgers, has had a quiet postseason so far but remains a key figure for his team. Other former Braves on the Dodgers include minor contributor Justin Dean and coach Chris Woodward, while the Blue Jays feature former Braves pitcher Kevin Gausman and coach Charlie Montoyo. Several former Braves players who have contributed during the season or postseason stand a chance of winning a ring this year, including those like Yates and Phillips, despite some not playing in the World Series games. This series highlights the ongoing impact of Braves alumni across major league baseball's championship scene, reflecting both player movement and coaching influence. The matchup also connects to the Braves' historical World Series appearances and performances, underscoring the franchise's deep ties to postseason baseball.
