Opening Day will finally be upon us Thursday.
That means it's time to finalize our MLB power rankings for the start of the new season, setting the baseline for weekly Monday morning updates to come throughout the year.
These rankings have been shuffled throughout the offseason as notable free agents have signed and teams have completed blockbuster trades. Now it's time for one final tweak with spring training wrapped up.
Each team write-up includes a reminder of how it finished last year, a glass-half-full take on the 2021 season, a glass-half-empty take and a rundown of the club's ceiling.
