"Look, there is no doubt that a rotation featuring Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow can get the Dodgers back on top and maybe even back to 100 wins. That group wasn't completely healthy in 2025 until late in the season, so they should produce more volume and more value in 2026. The bullpen will be better, especially if that's where Roki Sasaki ends up, but there are concerns with the age-related issues of the lineup. Freddie Freeman turns 36; Mookie Betts,"
"Now the offseason begins. Contract options to consider! Free agency! Trade rumors! Let the fun begin. We kick it all off with our annual Way-Too-Early Power Rankings -- focusing on how teams look right now, minus their free agents, while factoring in rookies and young players who will make an impact next season and considering second-half performances, age of the roster and holes to fix. The top team? Probably not a surprise."
Offseason activity begins with contract decisions, free agency and trade speculation shaping roster moves. Annual Way-Too-Early Power Rankings evaluate current team composition excluding pending free agents and account for impactful rookies, young players, second-half performance, roster age and remaining needs. The Dodgers possess a rotation of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow capable of pushing the club back to the top and toward 100 wins. The bullpen could improve, particularly if Roki Sasaki arrives. The lineup's advanced age and reliance on Ohtani are concerns, while the Blue Jays' balanced offense surged to a World Series appearance.
