So nothing's changed.

But I do think it's a reminder that this division is going to be a gauntlet.

Best division in baseball?

By far.

By far.

Because let's think about it this way.

Going back to 2024.

The Blue Jays were the worst team in the American League East.

They had 74 wins, I believe.

And then 2025, they went from worst to first, 94.

And they are a couple outs, a slide, a foot away from winning the World Series.

And I think the Orioles, who were in the cellar last year, they could have a type of rise depending on how they play.

The Rays, you can never count them out.

just because just because because they get dropped into the Rays like like think tank and there you go well but that's the part right like you just can't sleep on the Rays and then Boston which I thought Suarez was coming to Baltimore here for a minute but um each team has a strength but you could convince me right now that any of these teams could win the AL East and I we could talk about it but then I could say I could see your point just because I think it's that

Okay, I'm going to put power rank.

I love a good power ranking.

You're really doing this to me right now.

Okay, so...

I'll start at the top here.

I'll give the Yankees the benefit.
