Only 6 team in the AL at .500. 5 of those 6 are likely going to October (know it's early to say that but they have separated)

If you aren't competitive in June, why go to games I guess is what people are thinking

Teams are more willing than ever to tear it all down and rebuild if they don’t have a realistic chance at making a deep run in the postseason.

The Astros gave everyone a blueprint. Managers and GMs have historically worried about their short term job security. They were eager to sign free agents or promote young players in an effort to get immediately better.

A competitive team hovering around.500 is in the worst situation in the current environment. Organizations either want to be competing for a pennant or tanking and rebuilding.

A ton of free agent players were left unsigned this past offseason. Agents were crying collusion, and a lot of good players were available for rock bottom prices.
