The MLB offseason is heating up, with teams ranked into six tiers based on their projected spending aggressiveness. Tier 1 consists of teams like the Colorado Rockies and Miami Marlins, who are constrained by ownership decisions. In Tier 2, the Los Angeles Angels are making moves but still face challenges with a lack of coherent strategy.

Emerging teams in Tier 3, such as the Detroit Tigers and Pittsburgh Pirates, need to invest significantly to build around their existing talent. Meanwhile, Tier 4 features contending teams like the Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers, who will make moderate additions but face spending limits. Tier 5 includes teams like the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros, who are willing to spend but with uncertain commitment levels. Finally, Tier 6 showcases the New York Yankees and Mets, both eyeing superstar Juan Soto, with the potential for significant acquisitions depending on the outcome of the Soto sweepstakes.
