1/18/24 New MLB Network list ranking top 10 second basemen leaves fans across the league puzzled. With spring training still more than a month away and several major free agents remaining unsigned, it's natural for fans and the media alike to dig deep into stats from the previous year and try to determine who the league's best players are heading into the next season. MLB Network played their hand in that practice this week, ranking the top 10 players at each position as the 2024 season approaches. Cubs fans likely raise their eyebrows at Nico Hoerner's placement at 10th, despite him coming off a Gold Glove award in a season in which he hit .283 with 43 stolen bases.
