NL East Poised for a Three-Team Battle: Dombrowski's Insight on Mets, Phillies, and Braves

The NL East is poised for a thrilling three-team race, according to Philadelphia Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski. In a recent interview on "The Show," Dombrowski highlighted the New York Mets' strong start, stating, "The Mets are very good. They beat us last year in the postseason." However, he acknowledged the Philadelphia Phillies' current lead, while also highlighting the Atlanta Braves' potential resurgence. Dombrowski noted that the Braves, despite a slow start, "are above .500 if you take away their 0-7 start." He emphasized the impact of Spencer Strider's return and Ronald Acuña Jr.'s continued excellence for Atlanta. The Phillies' executive believes the division will be a "dogfight all year long." This suggests a highly competitive season ahead, with three teams vying for the NL East title.
