When my first official MLB power rankings are posted just before the 2020 season starts, it’ll begin my eighth consecutive year of working on them throughout a full baseball season.
I normally start with my first post coming just days before the season starts. However, early this month MLB.com posted its initial look at the upcoming season and I thought to myself, why not now?
So here are my offseason rankings. The rankings come after many of the 30 teams have completed their heaviest lifting. Sure, plenty more additions are left to come. But below you’ll get a glimpse into my rankings as I see them in late January. Instead of doing a short blurb on all 30 teams — like I will do in my first official power rankings — I have instead decided to give you a glimpse of my preliminary power rankings and most improved teams (in bold).
