The team&rsquo;s visit coincides with their road trip to Washington, D.C., where they are set to play the Nationals. The following day, the Dodgers will also make an appearance at the Capitol.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In keeping with long-standing baseball tradition, President Trump has invited the 2024 World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers to the White House when they play in Washington D.C. on April 7. The Dodgers look forward to visiting the White House and celebrating our title. <br><br>In&hellip;<\/p>&mdash; Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dodgers\/status\/1904668391941825016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 25, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The Dodgers secured their White House visit after clinching the World Series last year, defeating the New York Yankees in a five-game showdown. However, questions lingered about whether the team would accept the invitation, especially given the political climate and previous instances of teams opting out. The Dodgers had not made any official announcements until Tuesday, just two weeks before the scheduled visit.<\/p><p>In comparison, the Philadelphia Eagles, who avoided visiting the White House during Donald Trump&rsquo;s first term, confirmed their visit after winning the Super Bowl this year much earlier than the Dodgers. Nonetheless, the Dodgers made their stance clear just minutes before manager Dave Roberts addressed the media before a spring training game against the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;I respect the position. It&rsquo;s the highest office in our country, certainly in the world. So I&rsquo;m looking forward to it,&rdquo;<\/em> Roberts said, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.<\/p><p>This will mark the Dodgers&rsquo; second White House visit in recent years. Following their 2020 World Series victory, the team waited until the summer of 2021 to make the trip under President Joe Biden&rsquo;s administration, rather than visiting immediately while Trump was still in office.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Mookie Betts visit the White House?<\/h2><p>While the Dodgers as a team have committed to visiting the White House, not every player may participate. Star shortstop Mookie Betts has yet to decide whether he will make the trip. In 2019, Betts declined an invitation to the White House after winning the World Series with the Boston Red Sox, joining several of his teammates and then-manager Alex Cora in skipping the event.<\/p><p>Betts is taking a similar approach this time, telling reporters that he plans to discuss the decision with his family before making a final call.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/mookie-betts-returns-to-action-expects-to-play-in-dodgers-mlb-opener\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Mookie Betts Returns to Action, Expects to Play in Dodgers&rsquo; MLB Opener<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p><em>&ldquo;I won&rsquo;t be going there,&rdquo;<\/em> Betts had told the Boston Globe in 2019. While he hasn&rsquo;t ruled out attending this time, his history suggests he may opt-out again.<\/p><p>Roberts, who was previously vocal about his reluctance to visit during Trump&rsquo;s first term, will be attending the event this year. The Dodgers&rsquo; trip continues a longstanding tradition, but individual players will ultimately decide for themselves whether to take part.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dodgers will visit President Trump at the White House!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":33373,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[480,190],"class_list":["post-33388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-dodgers","tag-mookie-betts"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
