It's just May 19. The 2026 Major League Baseball regular season will go on through the fall and then the playoffs will be here. We will have plenty of months of baseball left to think about before the playoffs will arrive and then the offseason and free agency afterward.It's already going to be an interesting offseason, no matter what happens throughout the 2026 season.
