2020: Rays
2021: Red Sox
2022: Astros
2024: Dodgers- The only team on this list that I think talent wise was on the same level.
The 2025 Yankees are still being assembled and will need more offensive punch to compete. I am not sure if Arenado is going to be that difference maker or not. The Yankees regardless will have to beat some other team more likely on their same level or slightly better to win a championship.

It’ll probably take 50 years of the Yankees being bad before that stigma goes away.
