The 2004 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 115th for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 47th season in Los Angeles, California. It brought change to the Dodgers as the sale of the franchise to developer Frank McCourt was finalized during spring training. McCourt promptly dismissed General Manager Dan Evans and hired Paul DePodesta to take over the team. That led to a flurry of trade activity as the new group attempted to rebuild the Dodgers in their image.
Despite it all, the Dodgers managed to finish the season in first place in the National League West and won their first postseason game since 1988. However they lost the NLDS 3–1 to the St. Louis Cardinals.
