Totally agree. Mojo matters, and this team had none.
The 2025 team had 5 players with fWAR with 3.0 or higher; the 2024 had only 1.
The 2025 team's top 5 players had fWAR that was 16% higher than the top 5 in 2024.
The 2025 had a generational getting on base talent that cost $765 million, while the 2024 team had Jose Iglesias.
