Los Angeles Dodgers Win 2024 World Series

The 2024 World Series saw the Los Angeles Dodgers triumph over the New York Yankees, clinching the title in just five games and showcasing standout performances from baseball's elite players. The series highlighted the Chicago Cubs' deficiencies, especially their bullpen struggles and lack of star power, as the Cubs face an uphill battle to return to contention. In a bid to improve, the Cubs hired manager Craig Counsell, but their success hinges on acquiring top-tier talent, a strategy they have historically shied away from. Additionally, former Cubs player Jorge Soler was traded to the Los Angeles Angels, underscoring the team's past decisions regarding player development. Meanwhile, the Cubs are contemplating the future of star Cody Bellinger, who must decide whether to opt into his contract, which could reshape their roster next season. Lastly, veteran pitcher Kyle Hendricks is expected to be released after a disappointing performance, marking the end of an era for the 2016 championship team.
