01 mariners were a team I was going to mention but didn’t think they qualified. Figured WS win was the cherry on top. But man that team was really good. Unfamiliar with 2022 Dodgers to even debate it.

Doing some more digging. 1939 Yankees might actually be the most complete team ever, even over the '27 Yankees just because they had better defense.
[U]Batting[/U]
On-base + slugging - #1 in MLB
Runs - #1 in MLB
Home runs - #1 in MLB
[U]Pitching[/U]
ERA+ - #1 in MLB
Starting pitchers - 3 top tier starters. 2 of them made the All-Star.
Bullpen - Excellent. 2 top tier relief pitchers and a closing pitcher who led the AL in saves
[U]Fielding/Defense[/U]
The very best. #1 in Fielding percentage and the least errors committed in the entire MLB
Shiiitttt, I might put the '27 Yankees ahead of them because of their sheer dominance in batting, but the '39 team was more "complete", better defense and better pitchers overall while still having an elite offense.
