MLB Power Rankings: Our first impressions of all 30 teams

Ten days into the 2020 Major League Baseball season, there already have been plenty of bumps, including a host of postponements and a shuffling of the schedule because of coronavirus outbreaks, most notably with the Miami Marlins. There also have been significant injuries, with Justin Verlander, Eduardo Rodriguez and Corey Kluber among those on the shelf.

But there's no need to be all doom and gloom. After all, there were actual Major League Baseball games! And with games come updated Power Rankings. We surveyed our group of reporters, analysts and editors after the first week and a half of the 60-game (we hope) season, with the results below. The biggest gainers from our preseason rankings are the Padres, who moved up eight spots to No. 11, and the Tigers, who are up five to No. 24. On the other end of the spectrum, the Reds, a trendy pick to sit atop the NL Central standings, dropped five spots, and the Mets, Angels, Diamondbacks and Pirates each fell four.

National baseball writer David Schoenfield offers his first impressions for every team along with the rankings.
