Can Anyone Dethrone the Dodgers in 2026, or Is a New Dynasty About to Begin?

11. Detroit Tigers
If this is Tarik Skubal’s final season in Detroit, well, let’s hope the Tigers go down swinging. Adding Framber Valdez to the rotation was a reassuring development, but this offense is still lacking a true difference-maker. Maybe that’s Kevin McGonigle, one of the top prospects in baseball, who could make the team out of spring training. If he hits the ground running, watch out.
10. Chicago Cubs
Swapping in Alex Bregman for Kyle Tucker is a vibes upgrade but a production downgrade. Where else can Chicago make up the difference? Maybe on the pitching front, where offseason trade acquisition Edward Cabrera enters the season with tons of hype. Which Pete Crow-Armstrong shows up — the first-half MVP candidate or the second-half struggler? — will play a huge role in dictating how this Cubs season turns out.
