The Red Sox—who were in third place at the end of last season—
have vaulted into first place in ESPN's Future Power Rankings. Boston notched a top overall score of 87.3 (out of a possible 100)—a nine-point increase from October 31, 2014.
ESPN's
Buster Olney,
Jim Bowden and
Keith Law each rated the 30 teams on four metrics:
majors,
minors,
finance and
mobility. The top six teams remained the same from last year, but relative rankings shifted.
