The new year begins Friday, but we are still a couple months away from the start of the 2016 MLB season.
With a number of impact players still sitting in free agency, there will be plenty more action between now and that magical day when pitchers and catchers report to spring training.
For now, though, it's time for an updated look at where all 30 teams stand.
These rankings were last updated on Dec. 10, so any transactions that have taken place between then and now were factored into the changes you'll see in the following rankings.
As with all offseason power rankings, these are not necessarily meant to be a prediction for the year ahead. Instead, they are a look at how teams would stack up with the rosters they currently have if the season were to start today.
Just something worth keeping in mind when considering where your favorite team falls in the following rankings.
Note: This time around we've included a projected 25-man Opening Day roster for each team. The roster projections from Roster Resource served as an invaluable starting point in this exercise, though changes were made based on my own opinions.
In the following projected rosters, (R) indicates a player with rookie eligibility remaining, while a bolded player is a newcomer to the team.
