(Fox News) — Los Angeles Dodgers to visit White House to celebrate 2025 World Series win over Toronto Blue Jays

White House Ceremony

The Los Angeles Dodgers will attend a White House ceremony to celebrate their victory over the Blue Jays in the 2025 World Series. The team has been in touch with White House officials, but a date for the visit has not been set.

Team Response

Dodgers team president Stan Kasten remained tight-lipped about the visit, while manager Dave Roberts confirmed his intention to attend. Despite calls to skip the tradition due to tension with ICE, most players, including pitcher Clayton Kershaw, expressed their honor in visiting the White House.

Immigration Rights Petition

An immigration rights group has petitioned the Dodgers to decline a White House invitation in 2026, citing the need to stand with vulnerable communities. The team has faced criticism for engaging with ICE, but both ICE and CBP denied allegations of a recent incident at the stadium.

Future Outlook

The Dodgers are poised to be favorites in the 2026 MLB season, bolstered by additions like Edwin Diaz and Kyle Tucker. Despite the controversy, the team remains focused on their upcoming season.
