"We gotta bump these Red Sox numbers up"; "Juan Soto will bring the athletics up more" - Fans sound off on MLB’s most mentioned teams of 2024
The 2024 MLB season has come to a close as we are in the thick of free agency now. It was a great season where the top teams played up to their expectations and fans were treated to an exciting postseason.
The Los Angeles Dodgers came out on top after taking down the New York Yankees in dominant fashion. Unsurprisingly, these were the two teams that had their names mentioned the most this past season.
Following these two teams, there should be some more unsurprising names like the New York Mets or the Boston Red Sox. However, the Oakland Athletics coming in at 10 could be a surprise.
Fans flocked to social media to have their voices heard on the topic. Many were happy to see their team on this list, but some are expecting more from their favorite team.
"We gotta bump these Red Sox numbers up" one fan posted.
"Juan Soto will bring the athletics up more" said another.
"Mets are relevant again" said another.
Fans are happy to see the Mets as one of the top teams. However, the Red Sox fanbase would like some more recognition, although they have had a few trying seasons.
"Woohoo go Jays in top ten of something!" said another.
"Go Braves!" said another.
"Exciting year, great fanbases, awesome" said another.
Overall, given how these teams performed, this list seems pretty accurate. It will be interesting to see how different this list looks compared to when the 2025 season comes to an end.
Some MLB teams have the opportunity to change their direction for the 2025 season
There are many opportunities for some MLB teams to come out hot for the 2025 season. The free-agent class has a ton of players who have the talent to turn around a franchise completely.
You cannot talk about free agency without talking about Juan Soto and his market. He is the biggest free agent on the market, and he is starting to figure out which teams he could see himself playing for.
However, he is not the only big-time free agent still available. Corbin Burnes and Roki Sasaki are available for clubs looking to upgrade their starting rotation with some aces.
As we inch closer to the dead of winter, some of these names will start to go. Fans will want to pay attention to the free-agent market over the next few weeks.
