Locke'd In Baseball

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. From the rotation to the lineup to the farm system, we cover it all.
