A recent article ranks all 30 MLB franchises based on their performance from 2020 to 2024, focusing on regular-season records, postseason achievements, and wins above replacement (WAR).

At the top of the rankings, the Los Angeles Dodgers are recognized as the dominant team of the decade, followed closely by the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros.

In stark contrast, franchises like the Colorado Rockies, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Washington Nationals occupy the bottom spots due to their poor performance.

The Colorado Rockies have struggled significantly, posting a dismal .407 winning percentage and suffering through two consecutive 100-loss seasons.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Pirates have the fewest WAR at 66.6 and have not made the playoffs, though they show promise with young talent like Paul Skenes.

The Washington Nationals have recorded a staggering 420 losses since 2020, but recent trades have positioned them for a stronger future.

On a more positive note, the Seattle Mariners broke a 21-year playoff drought and are showing improvement, bolstered by a strong pitching staff and star players like Julio Rodríguez.

The Oakland Athletics, despite a playoff appearance in 2020, have faced significant player departures and struggles since then.

The Milwaukee Brewers have made multiple playoff appearances but are still seeking their first World Series title in over half a century.

The Boston Red Sox reached the playoffs once and had a successful run in 2021, yet they face criticism for not investing enough in the team.

The Los Angeles Angels, featuring stars Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, have failed to capitalize on their talents, resulting in five consecutive losing seasons.

In contrast, the Detroit Tigers broke a nine-year playoff drought in 2024, although they had several poor seasons leading up to that success.
