The Dodgers enhance their rotation with Ohtani and Snell, while the Yankees strengthen their bullpen with Williams.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to dominate the 2025 season with a revamped starting rotation featuring healthy arms like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, and the anticipated return of Shohei Ohtani in May. The addition of two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell and Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki elevates their projected starting pitcher WAR to an impressive 17.9, leading the league ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Meanwhile, the New York Yankees have bolstered their bullpen by acquiring Devin Williams, MLB`s top relief pitcher, from the Brewers. Williams will take charge in the ninth inning, complemented by Luke Weaver in a pivotal role, potentially forming one of the most formidable late-inning duos in baseball.

The Washington Nationals are also making waves with the signing of Nathaniel Lowe, who boasts a 127 wRC+ and 8.6 WAR since 2022, while the Yankees are projected to improve significantly at first base. The Toronto Blue Jays have strengthened their infield by acquiring Andrés Giménez, a three-time Gold Glove winner, enhancing their defensive and offensive capabilities.

In spring training, the Oakland Athletics kicked off their home opener at Hohokam Stadium, showcasing a strong performance against the Rockies, highlighted by Brent Rooker`s pivotal hit.

MLB position upgrades and MLB prospect rankings are shaping the landscape for the upcoming season.
