Who wins the NL East this year? Are we at a point where the Nats are clear underdogs to ATL/PHI?

We have the Nats with 47.1% odds of winning the division but still as the favorites. I think we are underselling the Braves and Phillies a bit

Does Dave Dombrowski not get enough credit as an elite talent evaluator?   He's made quite a few trades in the last few years and although he's traded some extremely highly ranked prospects, he seems to have a real knack for trading the right ones at the right time (Moncada, Margot, Espinoza).

The jury is out on the prospects, but remains true that prospects are higher risk assets. Perhaps Dombrowksi actually wisely zigged when the rest of baseball zagged (hoarding prospects and surplus value)

You'd rather have the Braves-like run, even without the WS champtionship. That was 14 years of exciting baseball. That counts for a ton.

Yeah, I think so

While I generally agree on the sustained success being better, it is very frustrating to watch a team like the Twins last decade NEVER go for the win, and always play for the sustained future. Mauer and Morneau and Santana and Liriano, and one playoff series win.....
