Busch Latte

Armed with the first overall pick and a team name that implies drinking cheap beer in a coffee-adjacent way, Busch Latte enters 2026 with expectations they probably haven't earned yet. Seventh place in 2025 was fine if you squint, but with pick #1 in hand, excuses just got a lot harder to come by.

The draft haul looked strong on paper — it always does on draft day, doesn't it. Whether that translates to Ws come October depends on how deep their pitching holds up and how many times they panic-drop a guy who immediately goes 3-for-4 the next day on someone else's roster.

The first overall pick is a privilege. Whether it becomes a gift or a curse depends entirely on how the season unfolds. Nobody finishes 7th after drafting first and calls it a rebuild. This is year one of the real era.
