1. Philadelphia Phillies
Not only did they sign Bryce Harper, but they also traded for one of the best catchers in J.T. Realmuto.
2. Washington Nationals
A new ‘face of the franchise’ will emerge with the departure of Harper. Technically Max Scherzer has been doing that since his arrival.
3. Atlanta Braves
This doesn’t mean they won’t be competitive. They will be in the middle of a crazy race in the NL East.
4. New York Mets
With stability in the bullpen, maybe Jacob deGrom will get at least 15 wins this year.
5. Miami Marlins
Time to see what prospects will begin to emerge in the middle of a long and deliberate rebuilding process.
