The Dodgers are (more or less) on a rebound from last season. For the two-time defending World Series champions, this is a solid strategy. They have one of the best lineups in baseball and undoubtedly Shohei Ohtani is the best player on the planet.
They solved their problems in the outfield by signing top free agent Kyle Tucker to a 4-year, $240 million contract. He projects to be the starting right fielder with the DH slot closed for Ohtani.

After making the postseason two years in a row, the Padres struggled to get anything done this offseason (largely due to the payroll crisis that seems never-ending in San Diego).
Even with the departures of Luis Arraez and Ryan O'Hearn, their offense was mostly filled out. Nevertheless, they added Andújar as a powerful right bat. The Friars have said throughout the offseason that the first base void will likely be filled internally. Sheets is projected to start in that role in 2025 after his breakout season.

- DH Rafael Devers
Apart from the gaps on the left side of their infield, the Giants' offense was fairly set. Devers factors into becoming the primary DH so top-prospect Bryce Aldridge can get reps at first.
Arraez was the big acquisition by San Francisco in the off-season, signing a 1-year deal to become their everyday second baseman. Arraez has spent the offseason working on his fielding as his weak defense has hurt his free agency case.
Arizona Diamondbacks
- C Gabriel Moreno
- 1B Carlos Santana
- 2B Kettle Marte
- SS Geraldo Perdomo
- 3B Nolan Arenado
- Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
- Alec Thomas's
- Corbin Carroll's
- DH Pavin Smith
Dubex made some solid contributions to their offense this offseason. After incredible seasons from perennial stars like Carroll, Marte and Perdomo, they traded for 10-time Gold Glover Nolan Arenado and selected veteran Carlos Santana in free agency.
Unfortunately, trading out Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez at last year's trade deadline didn't help them. But it's unlikely either would have re-signed with the club in free agency. Replacing them with Arenado and Santana is certainly an offensive meltdown, but they will fill the spots serviceably.

- Brenton Doyle's
- DH Zack Wayne
A historically poor 2025 encouraged the Rocks to build on the good parts of last season. They have an abundance of young talent to be excited about. Most of their contributors are returning along with veteran utility-man Willie Castro.
Colorado adds Paul DePodesta moneyball His front office gained fame for leading baseball operations. After finishing with a 43-119 record last year, expectations are incredibly low for Colorado. If they can do anything to improve on that then they will consider this season a success.
