NL East offseason grades: Which teams will improve in 2022? originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
The NL East was a busy division this offseason, shelling out over $600 million combined in free-agent signings as all five teams worked to improve their on-field product from a year ago.
All eyes are looking up at the Atlanta Braves, the reigning World Series champions. They were the only team to make the playoffs from the division last year. However, the NL East will enter the 2022 season looking much stronger than it did when four of its teams’ seasons ended in early October.
