A week into the 2025 MLB season, we created our annual MLB Rank list of the top 100 players in baseball to answer the question: Who will be the best player in 2025? More than four months later, we asked 17 ESPN MLB experts to give their ranking of the top 50 players in the sport this season.

A.J. Preller souped up his bullpen. He rounded out the lineup and beefed up his bench. He even lengthened the rotation even before welcoming Michael King back from the injured list this weekend. The Padres are ready to roll.

Who is still too low in our update? Who did we miss in our initial list? Our best -- and worst -- rankings revisited.
