The Los Angeles Dodgers have won consecutive World Series titles.

The Dodgers have a loaded farm system, which means that if they want to make a blockbuster trade, they can make a blockbuster trade.
They're in even better position than other teams with strong prospect ranks, because the Dodgers don't really even have spots to play their youngsters in such an established, talented MLB roster.

MLB.com's Jim Callis explained this in a new article on Wednesday.

"Alex Freeland (No. 4/MLB No. 45) is close to big-league ready. They have a ton of outfield prospects: Josue De Paula (No. 1/MLB No. 13) and Zyhir Hope (No. 2/MLB No. 20) are two of the best in baseball. Eduardo Quintero (No. 3/MLB No. 34) and Mike Sirota (No. 5/MLB No. 64) are also Top 100 prospects. James Tibbs III (No. 8) was a first-round pick, and Ching-Hsien Ko (No. 10) is about to open some eyes, and they have a bunch of young shortstops behind Freeland. They have the financial wherewithal and the prospect wherewithal to probably make any trade they want."

That's a lot of good young players that the Dodgers have to trade.
They've also got deep pockets to potentially add multiple free agents.

But one thing is for sure: The Dodgers will remain immensely formidable for years to come.
