MLB’s major power imbalance already at the forefront weeks into season

Power rankings are mostly idiotic, arsenic erstwhile Mets GM Zack Scott astutely pointed retired connected X recently. But astatine nan moment, they whitethorn beryllium somewhat instructive. 

In nan 1 and only powerfulness rankings I’m ever going to do, my apical 5 are National League teams. Even if you person emotion for immoderate AL team, it’s clear really overmuch amended nan NL is wide — astatine slightest astatine nan top. 

One GM notes nan “imbalance is real,” and 29 others must spot it, too. That imbalance was a predominant speech taxable passim a wintertime wherever players for illustration Juan Soto and Corbin Burnes moved to nan NL from nan AL. 

How and why did this happen?
