* – indicates new to team

+ – indicates injury

1. Los Angeles Dodgers

Their quest for a 3-peat could determine the outcome of the upcoming labor dispute between the players union and the league owners. If the Dodgers win again, a lockout is likely. If they lose, there might be a deal forthcoming.

2. San Diego Padres

Once again playing second fiddle to the team in LA. Will a new first time manager who was a teammate with some of these players be the answer to get them over the hump?

3. Arizona Diamondbacks

Health is their primary concern as they need Corbin Carroll to have a full season and they will certainly need Corbin Burnes to get back to form when he returns later in the year from Tommy John surgery.

4. San Francisco Giants

The big splash to get Rafael Devers at the beginning of last season had mixed results. Their bullpen is not appealing for a team that wants to be a contender.

5. Colorado Rockies

There is no fire from anyone in the organization from top to bottom to get them on track to build a winner. It’s rinse and repeat with new names, but with the same mentality of mediocrity.
