I'll try and do five as well.

1. Mikolas turns out to be useless as a SP
2. Breyvic Valera ends up starting too many games
3. Josh Donaldson is a Cardinal by the trade deadline and fans wonder why didn't we get this guy sooner
4. Leone is an All-Star
5. Carson Kelly is traded

MLB-wide

1. Brewers get the first wild card
2. Eric Hosmer is top 5 NL MVP
3. Cubs finish with best record in MLB
4. Angels finish within two games of Astros in AL West
5. Twins win AL Central

I'll throw in an after the season as well... Manfred introduces proposal to disincentivize tanking.

1. No one on the team has more than 12 saves at the end of the season.
2. Marcel Ozuna has a solid 3.5 WAR season and fans are disappointed in him.
3. Harrison Bader has more PA's than Dexter Fowler (injury).
4. Luke Weaver has the highest WAR on the team and Carlos Martinez has a WAR just over 4.
5. Tommy Pham and Kolten Wong start for the NL in the All-Star game.
6. Josh Donaldson is a Cardinal before July 15 and Alex Reyes is the player we trade for him.
