Los Angeles, CA – In a champagne-filled locker room filled with cheers after the victory that sent the Los Angeles Dodgers back to the 2025 World Series, Freddie Freeman — the exemplary captain and symbol of perseverance — suddenly dropped a line that sent the entire baseball world into a frenzy: “We’re not just ready for a championship… we’re coming to win it.”
That line wasn’t just a declaration. It was a declaration of war.
After two consecutive years of falling in the Championship Series, Freeman and the Dodgers entered this season with the spirit of “there’s no turning back.” And now, at age 36, after more than 15 years in MLB, he has the chance to touch the championship trophy that Los Angeles has been craving since 2020.
Freeman – who won the 2020 MVP with the Atlanta Braves – knows the pain of failure. He shed tears when he left Atlanta, a team he considered family, to come to Los Angeles in 2022. “I was criticized, I was doubted that I was done,” Freeman said in a post-game interview. “But look… how far we’ve come?”
And indeed, Freeman’s performance in the 2025 postseason is a testament to the character of a true champion. He led the team in clutch hits, had an on-base percentage of nearly .420, and was the one who sparked the dramatic comeback in Game 6 against the Phillies. With his trademark smile and eyes that sparkled with determination, he said only one thing: “Thank you to everyone who doubted me – because of you, I’m not done yet.”
Head coach Dave Roberts couldn’t hide his emotions: “Freddie is the heart of this team. When he says ‘we’re ready,’ it means the whole team is ready for something bigger than anyone could have imagined.”
As for his teammates, Freeman’s presence is the glue that holds the locker room together. He is not only a model captain, but also the big brother who is always the first to show up in the gym, always reaching out to hug his teammates after every defeat. “He doesn’t have to yell, just look in his eyes, you know no one is allowed to give up,” Mookie Betts shared.
Now, the Dodgers are preparing for the World Series with an unprecedented spirit of fire. The challenges ahead are enormous, but with Freeman locked in, it seems as if the entire city of Los Angeles is convinced that fate is ready to repeat itself.
“I’ve been through highs, I’ve been through lows,” Freeman said, his voice cracking with emotion. “But this… this is my team, this is my family. And when you’re fighting for your family, you don’t just want to win – you have to win.”
A moment, a declaration – and the entire baseball world is watching.
Freddie Freeman is promising more than just a fight. He’s embarking on a great journey of sports revenge, where the faith, determination and heart of a captain could reshape the fate of an entire empire called the Los Angeles Dodgers.
