An MLB player will get a World Series ring regardless of the Yankees-Dodgers result
The World Series doesn't start until Friday, but one player is already a World Series champion.
Outfielder Taylor Trammell played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees this season, guaranteeing him 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 relieve top prospect Andy Pages.

The Yankees said Trammell, and he was on the roster from April 20 to May 3, getting just two plate appearances during that time.
When utility player Jon Berti returned from injury, the Yankees designated Trammell for assignment, and he has 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.

Trammell officially became a world champion when the Dodgers eliminated the New York Mets in the NLCS on Sunday, before anyone else got to celebrate the championship.
“I'm getting a ring now, and that's the best thing I can say. For me, this is great because I can say I'm a World Series champion now,” Trammell said via The Athletic.
“The next step is to win the World Series and be there when it's won. That's the next goal.”

Trammell appeared in 126 games in the major leagues over four seasons, spending three seasons with the Seattle Mariners before being designated for assignment after missing the opening day of the season.
