Major League Baseball is back!
The Grapefruit League and Cactus League are buzzing with anticipation for the eagerly awaited 2026 season, and Athlon Sports meets the moment with our MLB Preview annual magazine. The magazine is packed with the bedrock information you've come to expect from Athlon annuals, including 30 in-depth team previews with projected lineups, top prospect lists and the always-popular anonymous scouting reports.
Athlon's Paul Gutierrez sat down for a 1-on-1 interview with Seattle Mariners superstar Cal Raleigh on the heels of his amazing 60-homer season. We also tapped Ryan Fagan to analyze the reigning Cy Young winners, Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal, for his essay "Pair of Aces."
Fagan identifies and scouts the top 10 prospects in the majors for 2026, and statistical savant Sarah Langs contributes her "Calendar of the Extraordinary." There's also predictions, top storylines and an 11-page fantasy primer. With all that, plus every team's roster and schedule, Athlon's MLB Preview mag is the perfect coffee-table companion for the entire season.
Four MLB superstars earned solo covers this season: Raleigh, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Ronald Acuña.
