President Donald Trump posted a congratulatory message on his social media platform after the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2024 World Series, extending an invitation for the team to visit him at the White House. The Dodgers have accepted that invitation and plan to go to Washington on July 23, an off day during their post-All-Star-break road trip. Some observers have again urged the team to skip the tradition due to controversy, but manager Dave Roberts and players such as Clayton Kershaw have defended attending, stating it remains an honor regardless of who occupies the office.
