The Dodgers’ franchise has fielded a group yearly for over a century, however Adrian Gonzalez tells TMZ Sports activities this 12 months’s iteration has an opportunity to be L.A.’s finest EVER.

We chopped it up with the previous Dodgers All-Star out at LAX this week simply earlier than Los Angeles kicked off its first spring coaching video games of the 12 months … and once we requested him simply how good the blokes could be in ’25, he did not mince phrases.

“I do know it may very well be finest group of all-time,” he mentioned. “For certain.”

Whereas the ex-first baseman is a bit biased — he did, in spite of everything, play in L.A. for six seasons and he’s presently working as a broadcaster for the group — it is actually an opinion that is onerous to argue with.

The Dodgers returned nearly each key participant from final 12 months’s World Collection-winning squad … they usually’ve added a bunch of studs too, together with former Cy Younger winner Blake Snell and Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki.

The perfect group in Dodgers historical past was technically the 2022 one … which received 111 common season video games, though it received bounced within the NLDS.

Even when this 12 months’s L.A. group is not in a position to eclipse these win totals to be formally topped the Dodgers’ finest ever, Gonzalez instructed us he is nonetheless predicting them to win the World Collection.

As for everybody hating on all the cash the group’s been throwing round to maintain the roster stacked — Gonzalez made it clear to us he thinks the haters have to pipe down a bit.
