Los Angeles Times sports

Key Points:

  • President Trump hosted the 2025 World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers at the newly renovated White House Rose Garden, highlighting the changes from grass to white stone and praising the venue for events and dining.
  • Trump delivered an almost 20-minute speech celebrating the Dodgers' victory, engaging with players and team officials, and predicting the possibility of a three-peat championship for the team.
  • The Dodgers' visit, their second in two years, was scheduled amid a busy East Coast road trip, with some players absent due to personal preferences, and manager Dave Roberts emphasizing the team's unity over political issues.
  • During the event, Dodgers chairman Mark Walter presented Trump with a personalized World Series ring and jersey; Walter is currently under federal investigation for potential financial improprieties, though no charges have been filed.
  • Trump acknowledged limited knowledge of the Dodgers' 2026 season due to other presidential responsibilities and humorously interacted with retired player Clayton Kershaw, while the event concluded with an invitation to the Oval Office and further remarks on White House renovations.
