The Dodgers get Swept & the World Loves It

The Los Angeles Dodgers came into the 2026 MLB season as overwhelming favorites to win another World Series.

A three peat would’ve been historic, but thankfully, the Milwaukee Brewers eliminated them in hilarious fashion.

They swept LA four games to zero and now a potential lockout still looms over Major League Baseball. 

The Dodgers essentially formed one of the greatest rosters of all time on paper, and their luxury tax payroll was an estimated $433.1 million, the highest in league history. 

Due to this asinine number, owners are pushing for a salary cap, which could lead to a lockout starting in December.

For the Dodgers to possibly force a league wide lockout just to get swept, it would be one of the funnier stories in baseball history.

For the Brewers, it’s their first time making the World Series since 1982, breaking one of the longest droughts in the league. 

Milwaukee has never won a championship, so this would be a heartwarming story if they were to win it all.

They will await the winner of the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays series. Cleveland has a chance to end a major drought as well, which would be massive. 

Major League Baseball fans everywhere had a ball watching the Los Angeles Dodgers fold, but at what cost?
