As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the National League West is shaping up to be a fascinating battleground. With the Arizona Diamondbacks making headlines by signing Corbin Burnes to a staggering $210 million deal, the question arises: can he reclaim his Cy Young form and lead the D-backs to a playoff berth?
Burnes is not the only player to watch. The Los Angeles Dodgers, despite predictions of another sub-100 win season, are still the favorites to win the division. But does regular-season success even matter if they can't translate it into postseason glory? Could this be the year they finally break the cycle of disappointment after dominating the regular season?
On the flip side, the San Diego Padres are banking on Jackson Merrill to emerge as the best center fielder in the NL. After a strong rookie campaign, can he elevate his game even further? And what about the Colorado Rockies? Nolan Jones is looking to bounce back after a rough 2024. Is he the key to turning around a struggling franchise?
Let’s not forget the San Francisco Giants, who are hoping for a breakout season from Jung Hoo Lee. After a season marred by injury, can he finally show the potential that made him a sought-after prospect?
With so many storylines unfolding, what are your bold predictions for the NL West this season? Who do you think will surprise us, and who might fall flat? Share your thoughts and let’s dive into what could be one of the most competitive divisions in baseball!
