The Los Angeles Dodgers could lose their 2024 World Series ace to the Los Angeles Angels in a shocking turn of events.
With the greater Los Angeles area reeling from a devastating string of wildfires, the Dodgers and Angels were among the 12 L.A. professional sports organizations that collectively pledged more than $8 million in donations to support disaster relief on Monday.
