All around the American League, there’s been regression this winter. The best teams reside in the National League, which houses the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Not far behind are the San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets.
Meanwhile, the Yankees lost Juan Soto, arguably the best hitter in the game. The Baltimore Orioles lost Corbin Burnes. The Toronto Blue Jays haven’t improved a bit. The Houston Astros appear poised to do without Alex Bregman.
