Show Notes
The 2026 MLB season sees a surge in international players, with the San Diego Padres and Atlanta Braves leading the pack with fifteen each. The Houston Astros, previously at the top, now have fourteen. Other teams with notable numbers include the Arizona Diamondbacks, Miami Marlins, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, and San Francisco Giants. Opening Day featured 247 players from 16 countries, with the Dominican Republic leading at 93. The Padres, despite their diverse squad, started the season with a 0-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. The rotation appears to be the teams weak spot, but Pivetta and Stammen are optimistic about improvement.
