National League West

* – 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.

Player to Watch: P/DH Shohei Ohtani – Los Angeles Dodgers

Best Acquisition: OF Kyle Tucker – Los Angeles Dodgers

New Kid on the Block: 1B Bryce Eldridge – San Francisco Giants

The Los Angeles Dodgers were the favorites to win the World Series before the season started and they were the favorites to win before the series started against Toronto. In the end they certainly earned it.

2025 World Series Preview

It has been 32 years since the Toronto Blue Jays were last in the World Series. That was when Joe Carter hit a 3-run walk-off home run to win the series in Game 6. Toronto has come close in more recent seasons to get back to the Fall Classic, but this is the best they’ve been since that 1993 season. For the Los Angeles Dodgers they are attempting to repeat as World Series champions. They have never done so in their franchise’s history and the last time a team repeated as World Series champions were the New York Yankees from 1998-2000. One team has a stacked roster with future hall of famers and the other has a few standout players in the prime of their careers with a solid amount of depth across the board. One team swept their way into the World Series while the other had to claw their way back to a Game 7 victory to get in. This one should be interesting to say the least.
