MLB Power Rankings 2025 - Sportsnaut
It was a wild MLB trade deadline as several stars changed teams, some in shocking fashion.
sportsnaut.comHere are the latest MLB power rankings trends and where to find them, based on recent primary outlets.
- Most outlets in mid-2025 cited the Milwaukee Brewers or New York Mets as leaders at various points, with shifts driven by winning streaks and the trade deadline approaching. For example, CBS Sports HQ highlighted the Brewers taking the top spot after a long win streak, while other weeks had the Mets or Blue Jays near the top depending on recent performance.[2][3]
- The Blue Jays have repeatedly sat near the top of the AL East in several rankings across different weeks, sometimes leading the division and other times ranking just behind the Brewers or Mets depending on late-season momentum.[1][2]
- The Dodgers and Giants have appeared in the top five at times, with the Dodgers experiencing slumps and the Giants climbing into the top tier in certain broadcasts, reflecting the fluid nature of power rankings during the season.[3][4][2]
