After a long winter in which the very future of the sport hung delicately in the balance, the wait is officially (almost) over.
We’re days away from Opening Day, which means it’s time for everybody’s favorite spring tradition: to rank every MLB team before the first pitch is even thrown. For the third season in a row, the tag-team duo of Nick Selbe and Will Laws will be doing the honors, with Will handling blurbs for the National League teams and Nick writing for the American League squads.
In many ways, the 2022 season will be marked by change: The addition of two more playoff teams, the universal DH and the much-welcomed “Shohei Ohtani rule” will make for a different viewing experience. In an ever-evolving world, it’s comforting to have things you can count on, so rejoice in knowing each Monday will bring with it a new power ranking (and who doesn’t love a good list to dissect every week?).
