What is the story about?
As Spring Training was coming to a close, we collected predictions about the 2026 season from the Purple Row community
. At the time, here’s how folks thought the the season would shake out by October:- Division Winners
- NL West: Los Angeles Dodgers
- NL Central: Chicago Cubs
- NL East: New York Mets
- AL West: Seattle Mariners
- AL Central: Detroit Tigers
- AL East: Toronto Blue Jays
- Award Winners
- NL MVP: Shohei Ohtani (LAD)
- NL Cy Young: Paul Skenes (PIT)
- NL ROY: Konnor Griffin (PIT)/Charlie Condon (COL)/TJ Rumfield (COL) all tied
- AL MVP: Aaron Judge (NYY)
- AL Cy Young: Tarik Skubal (DET)
- AL ROY: Kevin McGonigle
- There was nothing close to a consensus on where the 2026 Rockies record would end up with the range predicted extending from 55 all the way up to 82 wins.
We now have a little over a month of games on the books, which is enough time for opinions to have started to shift.
What are the biggest changes in how you see the season unfolding now as opposed to your predictions before Opening Day?
Are there any of your predictions that seem to actually be coming
true?
Have any of your predictions already failed to come to pass?
