This season, the team enters with renewed hunger and motivation, especially after missing the postseason last year. Acknowledging that the sting of a near championship is far worse than not qualifying at all, players have returned early and eagerly prepared to rewrite their narrative. The roster's new additions, particularly versatile talents like Cody Bellinger and established hitters such as Paul Goldschmidt, promise to enhance their offensive capabilities significantly.

Max Fried stands out as a formidable presence on the mound, possessing multiple pitches and a competitive spirit. His past performance in crucial games, particularly during the World Series run, underlines his value to the team. Despite losing a star like Juan Soto to the Mets, the incorporation of these new talents aims to bolster their prospects, making the upcoming season one to watch.
