* – indicates new to team

+ – indicates injury

1. Toronto Blue Jays

They were so close to winning it all last season. Their depth in the rotation and lineup has improved, but they might miss having Bo Bichette.

2. Baltimore Orioles

It’s a make or break season for them with the young crop of hitters coming due for big paydays. Acquiring Pete Alonso and Taylor Ward puts less pressure on the rest of the bats to shoulder the load.

3. New York Yankees

When Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon return from injury the rotation will come together quickly. The lineup has a few glaring holes though.

4. Boston Red Sox

They shored up the rotation and the bullpen has a solid setup and closing options. There are questions about the lineup though and if the young bats can duplicate their success from last seasons small sample size.

5. Tampa Bay Rays

They’ll return to their home ballpark, but with the penny pinching continuing from ownership it’s going to be a tough year to out duel the rest of the division.

Player to Watch: 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – Toronto Blue Jays

Best Acquisition: P Dylan Cease – Toronto Blue Jays

New Kid on the Block: C/DH Samuel Basallo – Baltimore Orioles

2025 World Series Preview

It has been 32 years since the Toronto Blue Jays were last in the World Series. That was when Joe Carter hit a 3-run walk-off home run to win the series in Game 6. Toronto has come close in more recent seasons to get back to the Fall Classic, but this is the best they’ve been since that 1993 season. For the Los Angeles Dodgers they are attempting to repeat as World Series champions. They have never done so in their franchise’s history and the last time a team repeated as World Series champions were the New York Yankees from 1998-2000. One team has a stacked roster with future hall of famers and the other has a few standout players in the prime of their careers with a solid amount of depth across the board. One team swept their way into the World Series while the other had to claw their way back to a Game 7 victory to get in. This one should be interesting to say the least.
