1. Seattle Mariners
They hit the relative jackpot in getting the reigning AL Cy Young winner and a NL All-Star outfielder in the same offseason.
2. Houston Astros
Losing Carlos Correa will hurt them when it comes closer to October.
3. Los Angeles Angels
They have two of the best players in baseball today. It’s time to start seeing them play in October.
4. Texas Rangers
A lot of money was spent, but the pitching staff isn’t where it needs to be.
5. Oakland Athletics
The fire sale is happening once again. This could get ugly with the lack of a stadium deal being in place.
Player to Watch: P/DH Shohei Ohtani – Los Angeles Angels
Best Acquisition: OF Jesse Winker – Seattle Mariners
New Kid on the Block: OF Julio Rodriguez – Seattle Mariners
