The NL East features several competitive teams, including the win-now Phillies, revamped Mets, resilient Braves, and potentially surprising Marlins, while the Nationals lag behind. The Braves hope to rebound from a losing season with key additions despite injuries, while the Marlins aim for a wild-card spot, relying on Sandy Alcántara’s recovery. The Mets underwent a major overhaul, trading key players for new talent but face uncertainties with player positions. The Phillies, consistently strong, look to maintain their postseason streak, while the Nationals struggle to find direction, relying on rookie Harry Ford as a bright spot.
