Tyler Lauletta

  • Baseball is back, with all 30 teams tuning up in spring training ahead of opening day.

  • In the National League, the Phillies have jumped into contending position with their blockbuster signing of Bryce Harper in free agency.

  • Meanwhile, the Yankees, Red Sox, and Astros still seem a cut above the rest of the American League heading into 2019.

Baseball season is upon us.

After a hot stove season that took a bit of time to heat up, some big names were finally moved. Bryce Harper and Manny Machado both signed massive deals that set up the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres with a key player for years to come.

With Harper's move to the Phillies, Philadelphia becomes a legit contender in the National League alongside the Los Angeles Dodgers and a competitive Central division. Meanwhile, the American League still looks like it will be dominated by the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and Houston Astros.

Take a look below to see where every team stands heading into the 2019 season.
