No division surprised more in 2024 than the AL Central. A quintet of clubs that had been historically bad as a collective in recent years managed to produce not one, not two, but three postseason teams, with the division champion Guardians and two resurgent wild cards in Detroit and Kansas City. Although the defending division champion Twins had a dismal second half and missed the playoffs, they still managed to finish above .500, making the AL Central the only division in MLB with four winning teams. The White Sox … well, we know what happened with them, but the avalanche of losing that transpired on the South Side did not ruin what was otherwise a huge step forward for the AL Central.
Grading the AL Central's offseason: After sending 3 teams to the playoffs, how did the division fare this winter?
