"The Dodgers have won back-to-back titles and had only two real weaknesses last year - no impact closer and below-average defense in right field. Well, they addressed both of those areas, signing the top closer in the NL, Edwin Díaz, and the top-overall free agent, Kyle Tucker, to play right field. They had the best team in baseball before those moves; now, they're set up nicely to three-peat, clear favorites to win it all again."
"While the Dodgers have improved on their team from last season by adding Tucker and Diaz, other teams have made some big signings to try and keep up. The New York Mets have had an eventful offseason, losing key pieces like Diaz and All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso but also aggressively adding. They brought in Freddy Peralta, Luis Robert Jr. and Marcus Semien via trade, and also signed All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette and relief pitcher Devin Williams to multi-year deals."
Los Angeles Dodgers enter 2026 as favorites to win the World Series and complete a franchise first three-peat after upgrading key roster areas in the offseason. The team addressed two main weaknesses from last year by signing top National League closer Edwin Díaz and acquiring top free agent Kyle Tucker to play right field. L.A. continued its NL West dominance, finishing three games ahead of the Padres and claiming the division 12 times in 13 seasons. The New York Mets made several high-profile additions via trade and free agency, while the Toronto Blue Jays bolstered their rotation with Dylan Cease and Coy Ponce.
