Around MLB: 2025 Edition

And that's the best record against the AL East among AL East teams, too. It's just a meatgrinder.

East teams are a combined 92-44 against the rest of baseball. That's a 110 win pace, with nearly a full season's worth of games played. When the average East team plays the average team from the rest of the league, they are a top five team in the 162 game era.

It's completely bonkers that, less than a quarter of the way through the season, the question is already 'will only 3 AL East teams make the post-season, or will it be four of them?'.

Plus the ridiculousness of wanting to finish in the worst Wildcard spot to have an easier time to make the ALDS if you're not going to win the division.

The Yankees have DFAed Aaron Hicks. They still owe him nearly $30m through the end of 2025.
