Mookie Betts thanked Dodgers fans for supporting him and the Los Angeles Dodgers during a press conference on September 16, 2026, saying, "we got something special coming."
Betts said the Dodgers still have a long way to go despite the win: "We got a long way to go." He noted that winning is always enjoyable and that "anytime you burning, you know we're doing something good."
Betts stated that the Dodgers do not take their long-standing group for granted, but expect excellence from one another: "we don't take it for granted, but we expect this." He also identified himself as a four-time World Series champion, a claim he made during the interview.
Betts said the current celebration did not feel as good as winning the World Series would: "this one doesn't feel as good, but the World Series one." Teammates sprayed him with liquid during the interview, and he joked, "My face is burning." He described the postgame spraying as an expression of the teammates' love for one another, saying, "that's exactly what it is."
