Dodgers' problems may soon extend far beyond a Brewers sweep | Opinion

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ season is unraveling on the field and off, as their 6-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the NLCS deepened their 3-0 series deficit. With a potential series-ending Game 4 looming on October 15, the team’s championship aspirations are fading fast, even as manager Dave Roberts and outfielder Teoscar Hernández have repeatedly touted their roster’s unmatched talent.

Yet injuries to key players, including 32-year-old Shohei Ohtani—who has battled knee, bicep, and neck issues—have exposed the team’s aging core, raising questions about their long-term competitiveness.

Beyond the baseball diamond, controlling owner Mark Walter faces mounting scrutiny from federal investigators probing potential financial misconduct at his insurance companies and Guggenheim Partners. The Department of Justice and SEC have launched parallel inquiries, while Walter has already sold his controlling stake in the Los Angeles Lakers for $12.5 billion and divested a 13% share of Chelsea FC for over $1 billion.

Meanwhile, MLB’s push for a salary cap threatens to strip the Dodgers of their financial advantage, adding another layer of uncertainty to the franchise’s future—both on and off the field.
