Unmasking the NL’s Dark Horse: The Team Poised to Topple the Dodgers This Season
But it’s cheating to just name a whole bunch of intriguing contendersteams. To name one, I’ll go with the Phils. When that starting rotation is humming along at maximum power, it has multiple Cy Young contenders to throw at you between Zack Wheeler, Cris Sánchez, and Jesús Luzardo (plus Aaron Nola). Losing Ranger Suarez hurts, but they’re in good shape. And though there are reasonable age-related concerns with the lineup, it’s hard to turn up your nose at the Kyle Schwarber party.
Today on the site, John will present the final edition of our Making the Team Meter for 2026 spring training, and Sam will check out one of the relievers expected to land a spot in middle relief: Rule 5 pick Cade Winquest. Later, Kevin will wish old pal Dellin Betances a happy birthday, Jeff will preview the Brewers, Jonathan will offer some Yankees-themed fantasy baseball tips for 2026, and Madison will put out the call for your mailbag questions.
