Dodgers’ Dave Roberts ditches Chargers fandom after Myles Garrett trade

The NFL world is still spinning after the blockbuster acquisition by the Los Angeles Rams of Myles Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, from the Cleveland Browns.

In return for Garrett, the Rams sent third-year edge rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick to the Browns.

The Rams are now the prohibitive favorites to win the Super Bowl and bring another championship to the city of Los Angeles, the most recent of which came last fall, when the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts recently admitted that he’s switching allegiances from the Chargers to the Rams after the acquisition of Garrett, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a recent Dodgers game.

“He’s top of the food chain, it’s going to make a good defense even better,” Roberts said via Dodgers Nation on X. “I’m excited to see him throw out the first pitch and in a Rams uniform.”

“I used to be a Chargers fan but now it’s sensitive up here.”

Shortly after his acquisition, Garrett made it clear that his goal is to help the Rams win the Super Bowl again, which they most recently won in 2022.

“I see a position to solidify myself here as well among the very greats,” Garrett said in his introductory press conference via Yardbarker. “I still have plenty of great years in front of me. And being able to cement that legacy not only as a football city here in L.A., but as an individual in winning DPOY and a Super Bowl or more, those things are definitely pressing on my mind, and I have a definite bit of urgency to do it and do it right away.”
