La temporada 2003 fue un período turbulento ya que News Corporation (Fox) buscaba vender el equipo. Sin embargo, los Dodgers se quedaron cortos en el puesto de comodines, ganando 85 juegos y terminando segundos en la División Oeste de la Liga Nacional. El cuerpo de lanzadores de los Dodgers lideró el béisbol en promedio de carreras limpias, Éric Gagné se convirtió en el primer Dodger en ganar el Premio Cy Young de la Liga Nacional desde 1988 al convertir las 55 oportunidades de salvamento. Shawn Green estableció un nuevo récord de temporada de los Dodgers de Los Ángeles con 49 dobles y Paul Lo Duca tuvo una racha de hits de 25 juegos.

Major League Baseball Draft[edit]

Chad Billingsley

The Dodgers selected 50 players in this draft. Of those, 12 of them would eventually play Major League baseball.

The first round pick was right handed pitcher Chad Billingsley from Defiance High School in Defiance, Ohio. He was a 2009 All-Star and pitched eight seasons with the Dodgers with an 81–61 record and 3.65 ERA in 219 games (190 starts) before missing most of 2013 and all of 2014 with serious arm injuries.

The sixth round pick, outfielder Matt Kemp from Midwest City High School would lead the National League in Home Runs and RBIs in 2011 as well as finishing second in the MVP vote that year.

The draft class also included catcher A. J. Ellis (18th round), who would become the Dodgers starting catcher in 2012.
