NL West Preview 2025: Can Anyone Challenge the Dodgers’ Reign? | 67

Welcome to Episode 67 of Tablesetters! The NL West has been the Dodgers’ playground for over a decade—but could 2025 finally be the year someone knocks them off their throne?
We’re diving deep into the division’s biggest storylines, breaking down who’s built to compete, who’s falling behind, and which teams are gearing up for a postseason push:
🔹 Dodgers – Ohtani. Betts. Freeman. Roki Sasaki & Blake Snell. Is this juggernaut simply too stacked to fail?
 🔹 Diamondbacks – After their Cinderella run in 2023, adding Corbin Burnes proves they’re serious. But is their bullpen still a liability?
 🔹 Padres – A strong rotation led by Dylan Cease & Michael King, but with a quiet offseason, can they keep pace?
 🔹 Giants – Willy Adames & Justin Verlander bring firepower, but will it be enough to truly contend?
 🔹 Rockies – Young stars like Charlie Condon & Chase Dollander give hope, but is there a real plan in place?
We’ll debate:
 ⚾ Did any team do enough to unseat the Dodgers?
 ⚾ Who’s buying and who’s selling at the trade deadline?
 ⚾ Is Shohei Ohtani the biggest X-Factor in the entire NL West?
