ESPN MLB experts ranked all 30 teams ahead of the 2025 season, considering offseason moves and 2024 performance. The Los Angeles Dodgers are the favorites, but the Yankees, Braves, Mets, and Diamondbacks have key questions to answer.
We're around five weeks out from when the first MLB teams report to spring training and plenty of free agents remain unsigned. So while we wait, let's look ahead to the start of the 2025 season . Where does every team stand heading into spring training? Can anyone catch the reigning World Series champion Dodgers for the No.
1 spot? How has the loss of key players impacted teams? We asked ESPN MLB experts David Schoenfield, Buster Olney and Jesse Rogers to rank every team in baseball based on a combination of what we've seen so far this offseason and what we already knew from 2024. They also weighed in with an observation for all 30 teams.No matter what happens the rest of the offseason, the Dodgers will enter 2025 as the favorite to win the World Series -- although no team has repeated as champions since 2000. They've added two-time Cy Young winner to their already impressive roster and if he is able to return to pitching, the Dodgers could match the 2022 team that won 111 games (the most wins by a National League team since the 1906 Cubs).Whether or not the Yankees are able to repeat as American League champions will largely come down to the performance of their rotation.

Pitching help -- including a high-profile reliever, which there are still plenty of on the market -- could be in their future.The Mets have a lot of question marks, particularly in their starting rotation. Jacob deGrom is a huge loss, and while they have some young talent, it's unclear if they'll be able to bounce back, Arizona could go from one of the worst rotations in the majors to one of the best overnight. Of course, the D-backs' recent history with free-agent pitchers hasn't been good: Montgomery and Rodriguez were terrible last year, Madison Bumgarner was a bust and they had to trade after three years of a six-year deal. But Burnes feels like a good bet to remain one of the best starters in the leagu
