This year’s matchup between the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies is proof that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to building a World Series contender. The run, which began in 2017, has resulted in five American League West crowns and three trips to the World Series. Teams don’t add someone like Dombrowski, a veteran executive with two World Series on his resumé, to be patient. This World Series is a battle of ideologies. Two teams with similar World Series aspirations and very different philosophies on what it takes to achieve them.
