The 2015 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 126th for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 58th season in Los Angeles. The team underwent a change of direction this season as general manager Ned Colletti was fired and replaced by Farhan Zaidi and new president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman.
The Dodgers won their third straight NL West Championship in 2015, marking the first time in franchise history they had made the playoffs three years in a row. The season ended when they lost to the New York Mets in the Division Series. The Dodgers set a major league record this season when they became the first team in history to have a payroll in excess of $300 million.
Yasiel Puig and Drew Butera participated in the 2014 Major League Baseball Japan All-Star Series during November 2014, playing a series of games against the Japan national baseball team.
On October 14, 2014, the Dodgers announced that Andrew Friedman would be joining the organization as President of Baseball Operations. Ned Colletti would also be stepping down as General Manager, but would remain with the team as a Special Adviser to President Stan Kasten. The Dodgers lost two more key personnel when amateur scouting director Logan White left for a position with the San Diego Padres and player personnel director De Jon Watson left to join the Arizona Diamondbacks. On November 6, they hired Farhan Zaidi as the new General Manager and Josh Byrnes as Senior Vice-President of Baseball Operations. The following day, they announced the hiring of former outfielder Gabe Kapler as Director of Player Development and Billy Gasparino as Director of Amateur Scouting.
