The MLB hot stove may not be burning yet, but it’s never too early to look at the best that each division has to offer. So, let’s take a crack at it.
As we enter the last month of 2019, the MLB off-season is in full swing, and actually quite active compared to previous years. Already, some big names have switched teams, an under-the-radar trade of young players between the Padres and Brewers has happened, and teams actually appear to be focused on making this off-season a fun one.
With that being said, who are the best players at each position in each division (as of now) heading into 2020?
That is the question that will be answered in this here article. Without further ado, here are my picks!
