MLB, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Guardians, Chicago White Sox, Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners, Houston Astros

As the calendar turns to 2023, it's time to start thinking ahead to the upcoming baseball season. We started by presenting one key number that will define 2023 for each of the National League teams, so now, let's turn our attention to the Junior Circuit.
