The World Series has not officially started yet, but two players have already secured their championship rings for this year’s title.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays are set to battle for this year’s ultimate championship in the World Series, yet prior to the start, two players have already been guaranteed championship rings: 34-year-old pitcher Jose Ureña and 27-year-old infielder Buddy Kennedy, who both appeared for the Dodgers and Blue Jays this season.

Typically, when a team wins the World Series, all players who were on the roster at any point during that year qualify to receive a championship ring. For example, last year’s Taylor Trammell played for both the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers during the season, appearing in five games for each team. Coincidentally, the World Series matchup was between those two teams, so he was also guaranteed a championship ring in advance.

As for this year, the two teams reaching the World Series are the Dodgers and Blue Jays. Before the series started, many began identifying players who had appeared for these teams during the season, and indeed there are two: Ureña and Kennedy. Barring any surprises, both have already secured their championship rings.

Ureña’s season this year could be described as a true journeyman experience, having worn the uniforms of five different teams in the major leagues. He initially signed a minor league deal with the New York Mets, then moved on to the Blue Jays and Dodgers, all on major league contracts. He entered free agency in late June, shortly after signing a minor league deal with the Minnesota Twins and staying with them until the end of August. His final stop this season was signing a major league contract with the Los Angeles Angels.

Ureña appeared in 19 major league games this season, posting an earned run average (ERA) of 4.58. Interestingly, playing for five different teams this year tied a major league record.

As for Kennedy, he was designated for assignment (DFA) by the Philadelphia Phillies just before Opening Day, but later re-signed with them and got a chance to play in the majors, though he went hitless in seven at-bats. He was DFA’d again at the end of June, then signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays. In early August, he was called up to the majors but only played two games before being released again.

After being DFA’d by the Blue Jays, Kennedy was quickly claimed by the Dodgers and immediately added to their major league roster. However, after playing seven games with only one hit in 17 at-bats, he was DFA’d once more and became a free agent again. On September 1, the Blue Jays signed him to a minor league contract, but he was never called back up to the majors for the rest of the season.
