Since there are 23 more players in the league this year, just subtract this value from the current number of players in the league
160 - 23 = 137
Final Answer: 137 players

If 160 players are in the league now and this is 23 MORE than last year, then last year there were 23 LESS than there are this year. Thus we subtract 23 from 160 and get
160 - 23 = 137 players last year
