In Episode 4 of “The Dodgers Post,” a special Thursday edition, The California Post’s Dodgers reporters Jack Harris and Dylan Hernandez sit down outside the team’s training facility in Glendale, Arizona, and take us back to how our beloved boys in blue were built to become back-to-back World Series champions.


The guys talk about all the greats, including Clayton Kershaw, Justin Turner, Mookie Betts and more.


Of course, the story culminates with the Dodgers’ addition of Shohei Ohtani.


In the end, the question becomes: “How long can they keep it going?” And Jack and Dylan lay out just how hard it is to win it all in baseball.
