[The Score] - 5 MLB teams that will be better in 2025
The following clubs are poised to take a step forward or bounce back from disappointing seasons thanks to doing some heavy lifting to improve their rosters over the winter. Athletics Ezra Shaw / Getty Images Sport / GettyWins in 2024: 69The Athletics head into their first season at West Sacramento's Sutter Health Park with optimism that a three-year rebuild is coming to an end. The club went 32-32 after the All-Star break and had a solid offseason, inspiring more hope that its momentum can carry into 2025.Opening Day starter Luis Severino signed a franchise-record three-year, $67-million contract, while the team acquired left-hander Jeffrey Springs via trade. The duo slots in atop a rotation that accrued the fifth-lowest fWAR in baseball last season. The bullpen also looks better with the addition of José Leclerc to pair with All-Star closer Mason Miller.A lineup that hit the eighth-most homers will likely improve with more growth from its young players - especially a full season from Lawrence Butler, who recorded 22 long balls with 18 stolen bases and an .807 OPS over 125 games in 2024. JJ Bleday, Shea Langeliers, Zack Gelof, Tyler Soderstrom, and Jacob Wilson are all worth watching too. The latter leads the team with four homers and 12 RBIs over 16 spring games.Boston Red Sox Maddie Malhotra/Boston Red Sox / Getty Images Sport / GettyWins in 2024: 81The Red Sox could put it all together this season as one of the favorites to win the AL East after a three-year run of mediocrity. Boston's got a deep lineup and an improved pitching staff. The team also has a treasure trove of elite prospects - headlined by Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell, and Marcelo Mayer - that Boston can either call up to fill holes or trade for established talent.An offense that's already good should reach another level with newcomer Alex Bregman. The two-time All-Star has raked at Fenway Park, hitting seven round-trippers with a 1.240 OPS across 21 games. His right-handed bat also helps balance the top of a lineup that will feature lefties in Jarren Duran, Rafael Devers, and Triston Casas.The additions of Garrett Crochet and Walker Buehler provide the rotation with the high-end talent and depth it's been missing for a while - and Crochet could make a run at the AL Cy Young without any innings restrictions this year. Meanwhile, the bullpen will be led by former All-Stars Aroldis Chapman and Liam Hendriks.Cincinnati Reds Christian Petersen / Getty Images Sport / GettyWins in 2024: 77The Reds looked like a squad on the rise following an 82-win campaign in 2023. However, Cincinnati took a step back, costing manager David Bell his job. Expectations are high again as skipper Terry Francona leads a core oozing with potential that was supplemented by an under-the-radar offseason.The biggest reason to believe is Francona's return to managing. The future Hall of Famer's resume is highlighted by two World Series championships with the Red Sox (2004 and 2007) and another Fall Classic appearance with the Guardians (2016), and he should be able to push the right buttons.The Reds' front office brought in some intriguing pieces despite not making any major splashes. Brady Singer is a solid middle-of-the rotation starter and Taylor Rogers improves the bullpen, while Austin Hays and Jose Trevino are veterans with recent All-Star berths. Gavin Lux could be another hidden gem if the former top prospect thrives outside the big-market spotlight. The returns of Matt McLain and Christian Encarnacion-Strand should also be significant after they were limited to a combined 29 games last year.Los Angeles Dodgers Daniel Shirey / Major League Baseball / GettyWins in 2024: 98The Dodgers are well on their way to going 162-0 after sweeping the Cubs in Japan! All jokes aside, the new Evil Empire is primed to make a serious run at toppling MLB's single-season record of 116 wins after a stellar offseason on the heels of its World Series title. Keep in mind that Los Angeles won 98 games and a championship despite navigating lots of injury woes.Navigating the lineup must be a nightmare for opposing pitchers. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman have won a combined five MVP awards, while Teoscar Hernández, Will Smith, and Max Muncy could make up the top of the order for half the clubs in MLB. The offense is much deeper than last season with the arrival of Michael Conforto and a full season from NLCS MVP Tommy Edman.The pitching staff is just as dazzling, and that was before adding Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, Tanner Scott, and Kirby Yates to offset the departures of Buehler and Jack Flaherty. Ohtani is also expected to return to the mound in the first half of the 2025 campaign. The rotation and bullpen are much better equipped to handle availability issues, as Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, Clayton Kershaw, Brusdar Graterol, Michael Kopech, and Evan Phillips will contribute at different times of the year.Texas Rangers Cooper Neill / Major League Baseball / GettyWins...
