"After a busy offseason all around the AL East, which team is most likely to come out on top this year? Will the Blue Jays hold on after their near-miss at a championship last season? Will the Yankees be able to get better results with the same roster? Will the Red Sox or Orioles be able to make an unorthodox offseason into a success despite notable misses on some stated goals for the winter?"
"With Opening Day just around the corner, the offseason is more or less complete for MLB's 30 clubs and teams are now focused on the incoming season and being the final team standing to raise the Commissioner's Trophy. Until the playoffs begin, however, teams will be focused on a smaller goal: winning their division."
With the 2025 MLB offseason complete, teams are preparing for Opening Day with focus on winning their divisions before pursuing playoff success. MLBTR launches a series of polls gauging reader predictions for divisional favorites across all 30 MLB clubs. The AL East poll features five teams ranked by their 2025 projected regular season records: Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees (both 94-68), Boston Red Sox (89-73), Tampa Bay Rays (77-85), and Baltimore Orioles (75-87). The poll asks readers to identify which team will emerge as division champion, considering recent offseason activity and each team's prospects for the upcoming season.
