While the Los Angeles Dodgers have made a strong case to be the latest MLB dynasty by winning back-to-back World Series titles and three in the last six years, their franchise history and success since 2000 is a mixed bag.
Up until the current era, there were middling levels of postseason accomplishments since the turn of the century. But there have also been impressive individual performances and players who carved out a special place in the Dodgers’ franchise history.
The DodgerBlue.com staff has ranked the best Dodgers players in the last 25 years. Among various factors considered, the all-time Dodgers list was compiled by evaluating a player’s contributions and significance to the franchise.
Dodgers quarter-century all-time team
No. 8: Max Muncy
After being released by the Oakland Athletics in March 2017, Max Muncy quickly found a new home with the Dodgers on a Minor League deal.
He made his team debut the following season and immediately became a key contributor, hitting .263/.391/.582 with 17 doubles, 35 home runs and 79 RBI in 137 games.
That was the start of a successful stretch in which Muncy recorded at least 4.3 WAR from 2018-2021, with the only exception being the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
Muncy also earned two All-Star Game selections and three top-15 placements in National League MVP voting during the span.
In addition to his bat, Muncy has provided plenty of value with his arm and glove through his versatility. After splitting time at several infield positions to begin his career with the Dodgers, Muncy has settled in as the team’s everyday third baseman.
The 35-year-old has also been part of three World Series championship teams over the last decade, including back-to-back titles from 2024-2025. He became the franchise’s all-time postseason home run leader with his blast against the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 2 of the 2025 NL Championship Series.
In parts of eight seasons with the Dodgers, Muncy has hit .232/.358/.485 with 135 doubles, 209 home runs and 587 RBI across 924 games. His 27.2 WAR ranks 23rd all-time in franchise history.
