Los Angeles Dodgers Return to Toronto for World Series Rematch The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to face the Toronto Blue Jays in a three-game series starting Monday night at Rogers Centre, marking a potential World Series rematch just one year after the Dodgers’ dramatic Game 7 victory in Toronto. The matchup has drawn significant attention, as both teams have made strategic moves to strengthen their rosters and prepare for the 2026 season. The Blue Jays, seeking redemption after their heartbreaking loss to the Dodgers in the 2025 World Series, are now tasked with overcoming the challenges of a rebuilt roster and lingering injuries, while the Dodgers aim to solidify their position as baseball’s dominant force. The Dodgers, who won their second consecutive World Series title in 2025, have continued to invest heavily in their roster since the end of the season. Sonja Chen, a Dodgers beat reporter for MLB.com, highlighted that the team spent millions to upgrade its outfield and bullpen while retaining its core championship group. Key additions include Edwin Díaz, the top free-agent closer signed to a three-year, $69 million deal, and Kyle Tucker, a four-time All-Star outfielder who joined the Dodgers on a four-year, $240 million contract. These signings, along with re-signed players like Miguel Rojas and Enrique Hernández, have positioned the Dodgers as a formidable contender for a third straight title. The Blue Jays, meanwhile, are navigating a rebuilding phase after their 2025 World Series heartbreak. While they have made strides in improving their lineup, they face the challenge of overcoming injuries and adapting to a new era of competition.#shohei_ohtani #los_angeles_dodgers #toronto_blue_jays #rogers_centre #sonja_chen
