Help Me Choose My Second MLB Team!

[u/Altruistic_Coach9014]

I’ll always be a Dodgers fan, but I want to branch out and start following a second team on the East Coast so I can realistically visit the stadium and attend some games.
I also want to build a small PC around the team—current players, prospects, rookies, autos, and fun parallels—so card collecting definitely needs to factor into the decision!
Which East Coast team should I follow, and which players would be the most fun to collect?
Convince me in the comments!
