How do the Dodgers win all the time? Answer: not only the highest payroll by far but so high that their luxury tax is more than the total payroll of 12 MLB teams.

Dodgers to Make History With MLB Record Luxury Tax Bill After 2025 World Series Win
bleacherreport.com

excerpt:

The Dodgers probably don't mind paying the massive luxury tax bill, especially given that their spending ways have led to a pair of World Series. L.A. also paid $103 million in luxury tax the year before, per the Associated Press.

L.A. has seven players on the payroll with contracts in the nine figures, ranging from starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow's $136.6 million contract to four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani's $700 million deal. The players in between are shortstop Mookie Betts, starting pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blake Snell, first baseman Freddie Freeman and catcher Will Smith.

All seven have made major contributions to the team, led Ohtani, who just blasted 55 home runs and led the National League with a 1.014 OPS.

The Dodgers haven't dropped any nine-figure contracts this offseason (yet), although they did add lights-out closer Edwin Díaz on a $69 million deal from the New York Mets. They have been connected to other big names, including Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand) and Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (per Robert Murray of FanSided).
