Earlier this month, we took a crack at predicting each MLB team's most valuable player during the upcoming season.
That in itself was no easy feat, and more than a few of those projections will likely wind up looking silly by this time next year.
Ahead we've taken that a few steps further—five years' worth to be exact—with our predictions for who will be each team's best player at the start of the 2025 season.
Think of this as a fun look ahead at what's to come for each organization. Players were selected based on long-term upside, contract situation and old fashioned guesswork.
