<\/p>\nMiguel Rojas on the 2025 Dodgers potentially breaking the single-season wins record:<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s a goal. It\u2019s an expectation\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The 2001\u00a0Seattle Mariners\u00a0and 1906\u00a0Chicago Cubs hold the record for the most wins in a single MLB season. Each club won 116 games.<\/p>\n The Mariners won 116 contests in a 162-game season while the Cubs reached that total with 155 games played.<\/p>\n It sounds like repeating as World Series champions won\u2019t be enough for Rojas. The 35-year-old sees his team winning, on average, almost five games per week during the regular season.<\/p>\n No team has ever accomplished that feat. To win 120 games, the Dodgers would have to post the best winning percentage in MLB history over the past 119 years.<\/p>\n But in Rojas\u2019 defense, it\u2019s hard not to be bullish about the Dodgers based on the additions the organization has made.<\/p>\n Los Angeles brought back\u00a0outfielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez and relief pitcher Blake Treinen from its World Series roster.<\/p>\n The Dodgers also added former Cy Young winner Blake Snell and top relievers Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates.<\/p>\n In international free agency, they signed Japanese starting pitcher Roki Sasaki as well.<\/p>\n Health is always a caveat when it comes to preseason expectations. Rojas was careful to include that in his bold claim.<\/p>\n But if healthy, Rojas doesn\u2019t appear to see anyone else in the league competing with the Dodgers.<\/p>\n Los Angeles doesn\u2019t have to win 120 games to have an historic 2025 season. Even if the Dodgers fail to eclipse the 100-win mark, they can become one of baseball\u2019s best teams this century, and greatest NL teams ever, with another World Series title.<\/p>\n No MLB team in the 21st Century has repeated as champions. The last repeat champion in baseball was the\u00a0New York Yankees, who won three in a row from 1998-2000.<\/p>\n Since then, only one team has even returned to the World Series after winning the title the previous year. That was the\u00a0Philadelphia Phillies\u00a0in 2009.<\/p>\n Going back into the 20th Century, repeating as champions in the National League is also rare. It\u2019s only happened three times in NL history.<\/p>\n In fact, the 1975-76\u00a0Cincinnati Reds are the only NL team to repeat as World Series champions over the past 100 years.<\/p>\n The Dodgers had a chance to repeat in 1966 after winning the 1965 World Series. But the\u00a0Baltimore Orioles\u00a0swept the Dodgers in the 1966 series.<\/p>\n The last time the Dodgers were the defending champions during 2021 they lost to the\u00a0Atlanta Braves\u00a0in the NLCS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After an offseason where they loaded up on even more talent, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the favorites to win the National League again and repeat as… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31130,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"\nVeteran Miguel Rojas Sets Bar High for 2025 Dodgers<\/h2>\n
