MLB player will receive World Series ring regardless of Yankees-Dodgers outcome

The New York Yankees will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in this year’s World Series. The teams have split their last 50 meetings.

The World Series does not start until Friday, but one player is already a World Series champion. 

Outfielder Taylor Trammell played for both the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees this season, ensuring he will get a World Series ring.

The 27-year-old appeared in five games for the Dodgers from April 5 to April 15. The team then designated Trammell for assignment to make room for top prospect Andy Pages.

The Yankees claimed Trammell, and he was on the roster from April 20 to May 3, getting just two plate appearances over that span.

When utility player Jon Berti returned from injury, the Yankees designated Trammell for assignment, and he has since been with the Yankees' Triple-A team in Scranton. 

Trammell went 1 for 7 in eight plate appearances with the Dodgers and Yankees in 2024.
