The league currently consists of 30 teams the comprise both the American League and National League. In the AL, the most prominent teams year after year continue to be the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and most recently the Tampa Bay Rays. As for the National League, it's the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets that often steal the national MLB headlines.
