Now that we’ve had some time to digest what went down at the MLB trade deadline and have seen how teams are faring with their new roster additions, it’s time for another look at how all 30 teams stack up.
The Texas Rangers briefly climbed into the No. 1 spot in these rankings thanks to their flurry of deadline activity, but their stay at the top was short-lived. We have a new top team once again this week.
Further down the rankings, the Detroit Tigers have been the hottest team in baseball and have moved comfortably into the top 10, while the San Francisco Giants’ struggles continued. They are now in danger of falling out of the top 10.
The Minnesota Twins also made a nice climb after dominating the Cleveland Indians, while the Houston Astros continued to fall with another tough week.
As always, one thing remains true: These rankings are a fluid process, with teams moving up or down based on where they ranked the previous week. If a club keeps winning, it will keep climbing—it’s as simple as that.
