""We are in a real strong position right now, financially, and our ownership group has been incredibly supportive of pouring that back into our team and that partnership with our fans," Freidman said. "As we look at things, if we were on a really tight budget we probably wouldn't allocate in the same way. But having more resources, it allows us to be a little bit more aggressive on that point.""
""In a world where there are major constraints, that wouldn't be an area where I personally would allocate versus other areas. But we're in a really fortunate position right now and we have a really talented team going into 2026. We're going to do everything we can to put ourselves in the best position to win a World Series.""
The Dodgers possess strong financial flexibility and ownership willingness to reinvest in the team and fan partnership. That flexibility allows aggressive allocation toward relief pitching that would not occur under a tight budget. Edwin Díaz's signing is not yet official, but the organization remains prepared to make sizeable bullpen commitments to enhance playoff prospects. Recent pitching investments include Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, Tanner Scott, and Kirby Yates, along with the Yoshinobu Yamamoto offer and Shohei Ohtani acquisition. The roster is considered talented entering 2026 with the clear objective of winning a World Series.
