5 burning MLB questions: Braves beatable, best pitching staff, new team for Mike Trout?

The Red Sox need a new GM , the Mets have a new president of baseball operations and Mike Trout might soon be on the trade market.

Which National League team do you like most to possibly upset the Braves in the playoffs? Deesha Thosar : The Phillies exposed some weaknesses in Atlanta 's bullpen this week .

Rowan Kavner : The Dodgers have the offense to keep pace with the relentless 1 -9 attack Atlanta brings to the table.

Pete Alonso is one of the few sure things on a Mets roster currently stacked with question marks.

Alonso is the face of the Mets franchise; he's been a model player for the club with his slugging prowess and off the field with his drive to donate to charities and help out in the community.

Shusterman: Alonso is a homegrown fan favorite who is an absolute lock for 40-plus homers a year , which is not something you can just go out and replace easily.

Trout should go to a team with a high potential of winning the World Series , says Thosar .

Kavner: Bring the Philly fan home.

Mintz: Let the South Jersey boy come home.

Shusterman: The Cubs , Rangers and Padres are all fun and somewhat possible options.
