In case you missed them, the 2026 ZiPS projections are now officially in the site’s projection database for your delight (or disdain), and reflect all of the signings and trades that have transpired this offseason. These, of course, aren’t the final projected standings, as there are likely to be significant changes between now and Opening Day. The goal of ZiPS is to be less awful than any other way of predicting the future. The Guardians have lineup concerns and a rather low-impact, though stable, starting rotation, and ZiPS doesn’t believe the Twins are anywhere near as bad as much of baseball thinks. It was nice to see Jacob deGrom healthy in 2025, but ZiPS doesn’t want to bank on that.
