It was an exciting MLB offseason with no shortage of big-money signings and blockbuster trades, but at this point, it’s fair to assume everyone is ready for the regular season to finally get underway.
Things officially kick off this coming Sunday with the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals meeting on Sunday Night Baseball, with the rest of the league getting underway the following day.
So as we get set to usher in another new season, it’s time for one last look at how all 30 teams stack up heading into 2015.
These power rankings are based on how the teams look heading into the start of the season, and also on expectations for the season as a whole. That said, these are not necessarily predictions of where everyone will be when the 2015 season wraps up, but instead an overview of how things look right now.
For a look at my complete win-loss predictions for 2015, I’ll direct you to an article from last week.
Essentially, this was the last chance for some entirely subjective shuffling on my part before the regular season begins and we have some actual results to determine who moves where in the rankings.
Note: Included is my projected 25-man roster for each team. Players not currently on the 40-man roster are noted in italics, while players with rookie eligibility (per Baseball-Reference) are indicated with an (R).
