The World Series doesn't start until Friday, but one player is already a World Series champion.
Outfielder Taylor Trammell played for both the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees this season, securing World Series rings.
The 27-year-old appeared in five games for the Dodgers from April 5 to April 15. The team then selected Trammell to give space to top prospect Andy Pages.

The Yankees acquired Trammell, but he was on the roster from April 20 to May 3, making only two at-bats during that period.
When utility player Jon Barty returned from injury, the Yankees made Trammell a designated player, and he has been with the Yankees' Triple-A team in Scranton ever since.
Trammell appeared in eight at-bats with the Dodgers and Yankees in 2024, going 1-for-7.

When the Dodgers defeated the New York Mets in the NLCS on Sunday, Trammell officially became a world champion, long before anyone else could celebrate.
“Now I've got a ring, which is pretty cool. For me, this is pretty cool because now I can say I'm a World Series champion,” Trammell said, via The Athletic.
“The next step is to become a World Series champion and be there when we win. That's the next goal.”

The outfielder appeared in 106 games with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Railriders, batting .259 with 18 home runs, and was awaiting his next chance to play in the major leagues.
Trammell played in 126 games over four seasons in the major leagues, and spent three seasons with the Seattle Mariners before being assigned this season after not making the opening roster.
