The AL East, won by the New York Yankees in 2012, looks like it will be one of the best divisions ever this year, if not the best, since the current divisional format was adopted in 1994. All five teams are preseason playoff contenders, and each has just as good of a chance at finishing first as it does finishing last. 

The Toronto Blue Jays are much improved after two mega-deals with NL East teams, the Tampa Bay Rays pulled off a blockbuster of their own in acquiring Wil Myers, the Baltimore Orioles return much of their lineup from last season and the Boston Red Sox, if healthy and after some key offseason signings, can give everyone in the division headaches as well. 

Every team has the personnel to compete for the division crown and potentially make a deep playoff run. Ahead, I will preview how the New York Yankees compare to every AL East team.
