National League East: The Baby Braves Win the East, AGAIN
Baseball fans have been treated to a fun “arms race” as the NL East has been one of the league’s busiest divisions.
The NL East has seen an influx of stars such as Robinson Cano, Edwin Diaz, Wilson Ramos, Jean Segura, Andrew McCutchen, Josh Donaldson, and Patrick Corbin.
The New York Mets have been the division’s busiest club, but it is hard to imagine that they will have enough talent to pass the Atlanta Braves.
The Baby Braves took a huge step forward in 2018 and it is hard to imagine that the club won’t continue to improve.
The Braves have a deep roster and a farm system loaded with young talent. Their farm system will bolster their Major League roster while also serving as assets to use in trades.
Newly signed third baseman, Josh Donaldson, is a former MVP and is set to anchor a lineup which includes Ronald Acuna Jr., Ozzie Albies and Freddie Freeman.
The club lacks dominate starting pitching but they should have enough young pieces to carry them to a second consecutive division title.
