Only one team will win the World Series this year, but far more teams than that will be able to call their season successful.
Last fall, we ranked all 30 teams' seasons by how "successful" they were, based on each team's realistic hopes, strategies, trajectory, highs and lows, and so on. This season, we'll try to say in advance what a successful season would look like for each team. Success should be defined broadly, we believe, so there are many paths each team might ultimately walk down, some we're surely not imagining. If Miguel Sano hits 74 home runs and Byron Buxton has a 57-game hitting streak, the Twins' season would be fun and historic and memorable and, yes, successful, even if they win only 68 or 70 games.
