A significant amount of movement has occurred within Major League Baseball since the initial release of Opening Day lineup predictions on November 21. Notable developments include Juan Soto signing a record-setting deal with the New York Mets, while Willy Adames became the latest shortstop to land a nine-figure contract with the San Francisco Giants. Additionally, several high-profile players, including Teoscar Hernández, Christian Walker, Tyler O'Neill, Joc Pederson, Gleyber Torres, and Paul Goldschmidt, have made decisions regarding their free agency.

On the trade front, Kyle Tucker was traded to the Chicago Cubs, Cody Bellinger will don the uniform of the New York Yankees, and players like Josh Naylor, Nathaniel Lowe, and Jake Burger have found new teams during this expansive first-base shakeup across the league. However, much talent remains accessible in free agency. As a result, Moneyline has forecasted the logical landing spots for remaining top position players while predicting each MLB team’s batting order for the 2025 season. The lineup data has been shaped by information from Baseball Reference, roster insights from FanGraphs, and well-informed speculation concerning free-agent signings.

The predictions are set to be revisited in the lead-up to spring training and again right before Opening Day. The following projections detail each team's anticipated starting lineup: For the Arizona Diamondbacks, Corbin Carroll is projected in right field, with Jake McCarthy, Ketel Marte, Eugenio Suárez, Josh Naylor, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Gabriel Moreno, Geraldo Perdomo, and Alek Thomas rounding out the order, while Corbin Burnes is expected to take the mound as starting pitcher. The team may consider various fielding options to amplify lineup flexibility further.
