In the loaded NL West, Shohei Ohtani and the big-money Los Angeles Dodgers are still the team to beat. The San Diego Padres nearly took down LA in an October slugfest last year, while the Arizona Diamondbacks aren’t far removed from a World Series run of their own. Buster Posey is doing his best to make sure the San Francisco Giants are at least part of the playoff conversation, too. The former star catcher is now in charge of personnel and roster-building as San Francisco tries to get back in contention.
