"The Dodgers could become the first team to win back-to-back-to-back World Series titles since the Yankees completed the feat in 2000. They'll begin the chase with the highest projected payroll in the majors by more than $30 million."
"Their extravagant spending, coupled with the success, has generated widespread calls for a salary cap, which MLB will pursue when the CBA expires on Dec. 1 and it will almost certainly lead to a lockout."
"Most likely 2026 award winner: Shohei Ohtani, NL Cy Young. Yes, of course Ohtani is also the NL MVP favorite. But when Ohtani sets his mind to do a thing, he tends to do the thing."
The MLB season has started with the Los Angeles Dodgers leading the initial Power Rankings. They are projected to have a record of 102-60 and a 98% playoff chance. The Dodgers aim for a three-peat, which would be the first since the Yankees in 2000. Their significant payroll increase follows high-profile signings, raising discussions about a salary cap. Additionally, Shohei Ohtani is favored for the NL Cy Young award, highlighting his potential impact this season.
