Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen plays for one of the few National League teams that actually give a shit about winning in 2018. In an interview with Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, Jansen said that he thinks only six National League teams are trying this season (which may or may not be true), and while he doesn’t specifically name the teams, he breaks down the divisions in a way where it’s obvious who he’s talking about.
Specifically, Jansen says he believes three teams are trying in the NL West, two in the NL Central and only one in the NL East.
“There’s one team competing for the title in the NL East!” Jansen says, incredulously.
