Finley, the team’s vice president of scouting, has won seven championships during his scouting career – 1997 with the Florida Marlins, 2004, 2007, and 2013 with the Boston Red Sox, and 2020, 2024, and 2025 with the Dodgers.

“They’re all very special, but this year is probably a little more because of the back-to-back,” Finley said. “It’s tough to repeat. What I really enjoy is seeing how happy people are when they win their first World Series. It’s such a big thrill, and it’s what you work for.”
