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:

Miami defeated.500 at 42-31, a season-best 11 games over.500. This is fun because we're winning and everyone gets hits,' Arraez said. "I'm excited for this team.'

Not since Boston and Los Angeles in 2020 has the sports world's attention and curiosity been so concentrated on one area of America as Florida in 2023. The Boston Red Sox were reigning World Series champions, the New England Patriots were Super Bowl champions, and the Boston Bruins had reached the Stanley Cup Finals by the summer of 2019. The following year was devoted to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers snapped a 32-year championship drought ended and the Lakers claimed their first NBA title in the bubble.

The Minnesota Twins and starting pitcher Pablo López have reached an agreement on a four-year, $73.5 million contract that will keep the Venezuelan right-hander at the top of the club's impressive rotation through the 2027 season. On Friday, López told reporters, 'I'm excited to live and breathe Minnesota Twins baseball.' Luis Arraez, the American League champion and fan favorite, was traded to the Marlins in January, and he has a 1.73 ERA in four starts with 33 strikeouts in 26 innings and only 15 hits allowed. His WHIP (walks and hits allowed per inning) is a tiny 0.81.

Due to reduced games, MLB teams' beer sales have increased

Beer sales in the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins, and Milwaukee Brewers are also extended into shorter games in 2023. MLB has said that it does not have to worry about when teams sell alcohol. The seventh inning has been used by the majority of franchises as a cutoff, for the most part, to avoid overserving customers who may need to get in their cars and drive home. The change, according to Erin Payton, Regional Executive Director for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, does nothing to resolve safety issues: 'We don't want people to drink alcohol and then drive home from the game,' no matter whether it's seventh or ninth innings.'

The new Major League Baseball rules that are designed to increase the speed of play and encourage more action appear to be ongoing through the first 1 1/2 weeks of the season. The batting average has risen 16 points, stolen bases have increased by 30%, and the average game time is down 31 minutes, to its lowest level since 1984.

The Minnesota-Miami swap was completed on Friday, giving the Marlins one of baseball's most patient and consistent hitters. During his first All-Star team, the 25-year-old Arraez had a breakout season, batting a record-breaking.316 and denying Aaron Judge a Triple Crown. In home runs and RBIs, the New York Yankees' star led the AL in home runs and RBIs. Arraez, a multi-positional player who spent the majority of his time with the Twins last year, appeared in 61 games, 34 at designated hitter, and 31 at second base. He has also played at third base and left field.
