Who else would be No. 1? The Los Angeles Dodgers kick off their quest for a three-peat.

An eventful MLB offseason is winding to a close, and while there are still a few notable names left in free agency, the recent flurry of activity that saw Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette, Cody Bellinger and Ranger Suárez signing nine-figure contracts has brought some clarity to the 2026 picture.

Though there are still free agents to be signed, let's reassess the standings now that we're midway through the offseason.

Welcome to 2026! It should be a fascinating year. Frankly, it already has been. And a new year brings new Power Rankings. Here, thusly, are our first of the calendar year. There are obviously many more moves to be made throughout the rest of this Hot Stove season,

There's snow on the ground in much of the U.S., and we've got about a month and a half until pitchers and catchers report. But still: It's a new year. The book has closed on 2025, and all 30 MLB teams and their fans are starting 2026 with a blank slate.

The 2026 MLB Power Rankings are back after the hot stove finally turned up. Alex Bregman went to the Chicago Cubs, Kyle Tucker signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Ranger Suarez is on the Boston Red Sox, all moves that change the MLB landscape.
