We've arrived halfway through the 2023 Major League Baseball season, and the old rules haven't been followed. The Cardinals and Padres are a mess, the Marlins and Orioles are raging into the playoffs, and anyone who made a pre-season forecast of the Mets or Yankees is rubbing their eyes in disbelief. Two and a half months remain for teams to sort themselves out for the pennant chase, and as the regular season hits pause and MLB heads to Seattle for the All-Star Break, Mail Sport grades all 30 teams on their 2023 campaign so far:

In the ninth inning of Saturday night's game against the Boston Red Sox, Orioles outfielder Ryan McKenna dropped a quick, two-out fly, costing his team's victory. Masataka Yoshida's hit sailed to the middle of Fenway Park's deep left field, and McKenna strode slowly to his right, eager to make the grab for the final out of the game. The ball bounced off the palm of the 26-year-old's glove and crashed to the ground when it collided with the ground. The home crowd erupted in applause.
