Yankees Lead Projections for 2025 MLB Season

The 2025 Major League Baseball season is gearing up to commence with an exciting two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs on March 18-19. As teams prepare for the upcoming season, projections indicate that the New York Yankees are poised to dominate the American League East with a projected record of 94-68 and a .580 winning percentage. Close behind them are the Baltimore Orioles, expected to finish with a solid 91-71 record and a .562 winning percentage.

In the American League Central, the Minnesota Twins are forecasted to have a balanced season, finishing at 82-80. Meanwhile, the National League Central looks promising for the Milwaukee Brewers, who are projected to achieve a strong 93-69 record and a .574 winning percentage.

Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki is making headlines as he narrows down his list of potential teams to the Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers, and San Diego Padres. Sasaki, who was posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines, must finalize his decision by January 23. The Blue Jays present a strong pitching development environment, although their recent struggles in competitiveness may be a concern. The Dodgers, known for their successful integration of Japanese pitchers into the Major Leagues, offer a six-man rotation and a promising chance for success over the next several seasons.

As the anticipation builds, the 2025 Hall of Fame vote is also on the horizon, with results set to be announced on January 21. The ballot features 28 candidates, including notable returnees such as Billy Wagner, Andruw Jones, and Carlos Beltrán.

With the season yet to begin, fans are eager to see how these projections play out and which teams will rise to the occasion in the coming months.
