Coming off a season in which the Brewers won the division by nine games, the NL Central is now up in the air. The Brewers got younger and traded away their ace, while the Reds and Pirates seem ready to break through with their young rosters. The Cubs remain largely the same, and the Cardinals added some starting pitching depth while keeping their core intact after a disappointing season. As a reminder, here were the full 2023 NL Central standings.
Milwaukee Brewers: 92-70
Chicago Cubs: 83-79 (9 GB)
Cincinnati Reds: 82-80 (10 GB)
Pittsburgh Pirates: 76-86 (16 GB)
