The Dodgers are back-to-back World Series champs, but 2026 comes with some minor questions. Roki Sasaki's command has been rough this spring, Blake Snell and Gavin Stone hit the IL, and Ohtani is still building up as a starter.

The New York Yankees are running it back. After coming up short last October, the Bronx Bombers are betting that the same core is good enough to get over the hump, with Aaron Judge coming off his third MVP in four years leading the charge. But running it back doesn't mean running it back healthy. Gerrit Cole is working his way back from Tommy John and touched 97 mph in batting practice, targeting a May or June return. Carlos Rodón won't be far behind. Clarke Schmidt is on the IL. That leaves Max Fried as the Opening Day starter with Luis Gil, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, and Ryan Weathers rounding out a rotation that's being held together by depth and off-days. Anthony Volpe is rehabbing shoulder surgery, Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones are likely headed to Triple-A despite strong camps, and the Yankees are weighing whether to open with a four-man rotation given five off-days in the first month. We break down the pitching timeline, whether this lineup can carry the load until reinforcements arrive, the Cody Bellinger re-signing, Ryan McMahon's fit at third, and if the Yankees are a championship team playing shorthanded or a flawed roster banking on health that might never come.🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia🎧 Available on all podcast platforms#MLB #Yankees #NewYork #AaronJudge #GerritCole #MaxFried #JassonDominguez #Baseball #MLBPreview #SpringTraining #LockedInBaseball

The Phillies are one of the most complete rosters in baseball, but can they stay that way long enough to get back to October? Zack Wheeler is working his way back from thoracic outlet surgery and won't be ready for Opening Day. Andrew Painter is slotting into the rotation after his long Tommy John recovery. Justin Crawford is about to become the youngest outfielder to make a Phillies Opening Day roster since 1973. Adolis García replaces Nick Castellanos, Jesús Luzardo and Jhoan Duran bolster the pitching staff, and Bryson Stott has been on fire this spring. But the NL East is loaded, the Wheeler timeline is uncertain, and Aidan Miller's back soreness adds another layer of concern. We break down the rotation depth behind Sanchez, whether Painter is ready for a full workload, how the outfield shakes out, and if Philadelphia has enough to hold off the Mets and Braves in the most dangerous division in baseball.🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia🎧 Available on all podcast platforms#MLB #Phillies #Philadelphia #ZackWheeler #AndrewPainter #AaronNola #JustinCrawford #Baseball #MLBPreview #SpringTraining #LockedInBaseball

The New York Mets went all in this offseason, and the roster Steve Cohen & co built is a World Series contender. Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, Bo Bichette at third base, Marcus Semien at second, and a six-man rotation headlined by Freddy Peralta and Nolan McClean. But talent on paper doesn't always translate. Lindor is working his way back from hamate bone surgery. Bichette is learning a brand new position. Francisco Alvarez needs to prove last year's second-half surge was real. And the right field job is still up for grabs with top prospect Carson Benge making a serious push to crack the Opening Day roster. We break down the rotation depth, the bullpen questions, whether this lineup can stay healthy long enough to live up to the hype, and if the Mets are the real favorites in the NL East or if they're one injury away from it all falling apart.🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia🎧 Available on all podcast platforms#MLB #Mets #NewYork #JuanSoto #FranciscoLindor #FreddyPeralta #BoBichette #CarsonBenge #Baseball #MLBPreview #SpringTraining #LockedInBaseball

The Seattle Mariners are one of the most fascinating teams in baseball heading into 2026. In this episode, recorded LIVE in Miami, we break down whether Julio Rodriguez can finally put together a full 162-game superstar season, a pitching staff loaded with talent but riddled with health question marks, Cal Raleigh's power numbers and whether regression is coming, and one of the deepest farm systems in the sport that could change everything.🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia🎧 Available on all podcast platforms#MLB #Mariners #Seattle #JulioRodriguez #CalRaleigh #Baseball #MLBPreview #SpringTraining #LockedInBaseball

The Chicago Cubs added a big piece this offseason, and Alex Bregman could be the guy who pushes this roster over the top. In this episode, we break down how Bregman's veteran leadership and winning pedigree can impact the entire clubhouse, especially the young guys. We also dive into Pete Crow-Armstrong's wild split, a tale of two halves last season, and what a full year of consistency from PCA could mean for this lineup. Plus, is the pitching staff good enough to compete in a loaded NL? We discuss the rotation questions that could make or break Chicago's 2026 season.🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia🎧 Available on all podcast platforms#MLB #Cubs #Chicago #AlexBregman #PeteCrowArmstrong #NLCentral #Baseball #MLBPreview #SpringTraining #LockedInBaseball

The Toronto Blue Jays shocked the baseball world last year with a run all the way to the World Series, and now the question everyone is asking is can they get back? Toronto's rotation is one of the deepest in the American League, but will it hold up over a full season or are we due for some regression? We dive into whether losing Bo Bichette will come back to haunt this team, if breakout arm Trey Yesavage can keep up his dominant run or if a step back is coming, and whether the dreaded World Series hangover is a real concern for a club that went on a magical ride last season. The pieces are still there for the Blue Jays to compete, but the margin for error in the AL East is razor thin. We break down the roster, the rotation, and whether Toronto is built to sustain success or if 2025 was lightning in a bottle.🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia🎧 Available on all podcast platforms#MLB #BlueJays #Toronto #BoBichette #CarsonYesavage #Baseball #MLBPreview #SpringTraining #LockedInBaseball

The World Baseball Classic pool play is in the books, and we're breaking it all down. We spent a lot of time on Team USA, the negativity, the bad vibes, the criticism, but also why this team still has a real chance to flip the script in the knockout round. Then we got into everything else: the Dominican Republic looking like the team to beat, Japan dominating their pool, Italy being the darlings of the tournament, and all the storylines you need to know heading into the quarterfinals and semifinals. 🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia🎧 Available on all podcast platforms#MLB #WBC #WorldBaseballClassic #TeamUSA #DominicanRepublic #Japan #Baseball #SpringTraining #LockedInBaseball

The Atlanta Braves have been one of the most dominant teams in baseball over the last half decade, but 2025 was a season from hell. Injuries decimated the roster from start to finish, derailing what should have been another deep October run. Now heading into 2026, the question is whether Atlanta can finally stay healthy, and early returns from spring training aren't exactly encouraging, with injuries already popping up again. When this team is whole, few lineups in baseball can match a core built around Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, and a solid rotation. But can the Braves actually keep it together for a full 162? We break down the roster, the rotation, the injury concerns, and whether this is the year Atlanta bounces back or if the window is starting to close.🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia🎧 Available on all podcast platforms#MLB #Braves #Atlanta #RonaldAcuña #MattOlson #SpencerStrider #Baseball #MLBPreview #SpringTraining #LockedInBaseball

The Boston Red Sox are one of the most interesting teams heading into 2026, and we brought in reinforcements to break it all down. Josh Mullenix, Red Sox fan, college roommate, and podcast producer at CBS Sports, joins the show to give his unfiltered take on the state of the Sox. We talk about where this roster stands after an aggressive offseason, whether the young core is ready to take the leap, and what it's going to take to compete in the AL East.

The Houston Astros missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016 last season, and now the pressure is on to prove the dynasty isn't over. In this episode, we break down a 2026 roster in transition. Carlos Correa is back in Houston at third base (maybe SS with the Peña injury), Yordan Alvarez needs to bounce back after an injury-plagued 48-game 2025, and an aging Jose Altuve is looking to prove he's still got it. We dive into the rotation overhaul after losing Framber Valdez, the arrival of Japanese star Tatsuya Imai, and whether Hunter Brown can carry the staff as a true ace. Plus, the infield logjam with Isaac Paredes and Christian Walker, the young outfield question marks with Cam Smith and Zach Cole, a potential six-man rotation, and what it'll take for Houston to reclaim the AL West from Seattle.🔒 Locked In Baseball — New episodes every week📲 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @lockedinbaseballmedia🎧 Available on all podcast platforms#MLB #Astros #Houston #CarlosCorrea #YordanAlvarez #JoseAltuve #HunterBrown #TatsuyaImai #JeremyPena #Baseball #MLBPreview #SpringTraining #LockedInBaseball

The San Diego Padres won 90 games in 2025 and look to build on that in 2026. New manager Craig Stammen takes the reins of a roster headlined by Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, Jackson Merrill, and Xander Bogaerts, but the offseason brought big changes. Dylan Cease, Luís Arráez, Robert Suárez, and Ryan O'Hearn are gone, while A.J. Preller loaded up on low-risk, high-upside additions like Nick Castellanos, Miguel Andújar, KBO star Sung-Mun Song, and a rotation full of bounce-back arms. We break down the pitching questions, Joe Musgrove's return from Tommy John, Michael King's new deal, the battle between Walker Buehler, Germán Márquez, and Nick Pivetta for rotation spots, plus how this lineup stacks up against a loaded NL West.

In this episode, we break down everything Baltimore did to retool and whether it's enough to compete in 2026.We cover the big additions in Pete Alonso, Taylor Ward, Shane Baz, Chris Bassitt, Ryan Helsley, and more, plus the early spring training injuries to Jordan Westburg and Jackson Holliday that are already reshaping the Opening Day picture.

The Tigers aren't going away. After their second straight Game 5 ALDS loss, Detroit went out and signed Framber Valdez to pair with Tarik Skubal.
