THE surprise team of 2025? We asked the players.

During Spring Training, MLB.com beat writers surveyed their clubhouses, asking players for their opinions on a range of topics. Well over 100 players participated, in exchange for anonymity. In the leadup to Opening Day, MLB.com is publishing a series of stories based on the results of that survey.

The A’s were the darling of this year’s player responses. They received at least 10 more votes than any other team, a pretty impressive margin considering 18 different teams were mentioned.

“I think the A’s are going to be able to swing it,” one AL starting pitcher said. “Like, you look at their second half last year, they're starting to put it together offensively. So yeah, I'd go with the A’s. I don't know how deep they are on the mound, but I think their offense is going to be pretty solid.”
