But, Red Sox fans can also claim to be big winners of this World Series \u2014 and not just because the Yankees lost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph | gutter_20_0\"><span class=\"html-render\">The Dodgers\u2019 blueprint for capturing their second World Series in five seasons debunks a false choice that has been framed by the folks at Fenway Park since they set about on the path of sustainability in 2020, the same season they traded Betts to the Dodgers and LA won the World Series in a COVID-shortened season. That reality was as evident as the victory champagne soaking Mookie and Co., in the Dodgers\u2019 clubhouse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph | gutter_20_0\"><span class=\"html-render\">Watching this World Series, which was predestined to field the most expensive champion in baseball history no matter who prevailed, surpassing the 2018 Red Sox, the implications for the Sox during a pivotal offseason became clear. So did what they need to do to get back to relevance, the playoffs, and championship contention, finally paying off the patience that fans have exhibited through gritted teeth during a rebuild that has lagged on longer than the Fenway Faithful anticipated. Emulating the efficiency of the Tampa Bay Rays and the Moneyball Oakland A\u2019s is admirable and understandable, but those teams never won a World Series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph | gutter_20_0\"><span class=\"html-render\">The Dodger Way is the proper model for the Sox for millions of reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body | gutter_16--desktop gutter_16--tablet paywalled_content\n              \"><\/p>\n<div id=\"ad_position_ad_clinarticle1\" class=\"arc_ad | background_transparent border_box border_none container color_gray column text_align_center width_full float_clear ad_position_ad_clinarticle1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each week,\u00a0Boston Globe Today Sports\u00a0host and Globe sports columnist Christopher L.
