AL Central Preview: Tigers, Royals try to end years of losing after offseason moves

The AL Central doesn’t appear to be a great place to find baseball’s best teams. Instead, it might be home to some of the most improved. The division had a tough 2023, with the Twins running away with the title despite an 87-win season that wouldn’t have been good enough to win any other division in MLB. It’s a new season in 2024, but it’s still hard to look at the rosters and find an obvious 90-win squad in the bunch. The real interest lies with teams like the Tigers and Royals, who are hoping for a big step forward after several losing seasons in a row.
