Bleacher Report released a new power ranking heading into the 2026 MLB season last week, and the Philadelphia Phillies were ranked at No. 9.

Personally, I think this ranking is still a little low for the Phillies. This team won 96 games a season ago and is returning largely the same group.

Until we see otherwise, I think they deserve to be ahead of the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, and possibly even the Seattle Mariners.
