The Atlanta Braves had a hot streak of winning division titles from 2018 to 2023. Their reign was cut short by their rivals Philadelphia Phillies in 2024. The New York Mets have also emerged as contenders after making the National League Championship Series appearance. Their improved rosters will make it harder for the Braves to regain their title.
Speaking on the "Hammer Territory" podcast, Braves insider Justin Toscano claimed that the current roster is capable enough to win the NL East title in 2025.
"I still think it's one of the best rosters in baseball, and I thought last year it was the best roster in baseball going into that season," Toscano said. "Now the Dodgers have added to a point where it's got to be them, but it's still one of the best rosters in baseball and they're going to win the division."[41:55]
