Our first MLB power rankings of the offseason were published all the way back onOct. 29.
The idea behind that version was to set the stage for the upcoming offseason, with the approach to placing teams spelled out as follows:
"For the first edition of our offseason rankings, teams will be ranked based on their outlook for the 2019 season. That took into account things like how complete the roster is heading into free agency, how active the team is expected to be and the overall direction the franchise is headed."
Here at the midway point of spring training and with Opening Day rapidly approaching, it's time for an updated look at where all 30 teams stand.
