  "account": "The Los Angeles Dodgers, despite being swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series and losing three World Series titles in four years, are focused on being the best team in baseball when the 2027 season begins. General Manager Brandon Gomes dismissed the impact of their recent losses, stating, \"No, it doesn't take any sting away. You just don't feel good if you don't win.\" The team's core has been capable of winning World Series titles multiple times, and Gomes believes they can be a championship-caliber team again without trading from their core players. They are also preparing for the pitching they will face in the World Series, with a focus on hitting velocity and scouting reports. Overall, the Dodgers appear to be indifferent to the potential lockout and salary cap proposals, with Gomes stating, \"The goal is to be better than we were the year before, and continuing to find ways to improve and get back to being a world champion.\"",
