The Cleveland Guardians are gearing up for a challenging season as they aim to defend their title in the AL Central division. Despite their success last year, they face stiff competition from teams like the Minnesota Twins, who have bolstered their roster with key acquisitions such as Carlos Correa, and the Chicago White Sox, who are looking to bounce back with a strong lineup including Luis Robert and Eloy Jiménez. The Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals are also in the mix, with the Tigers showing signs of improvement and the Royals focusing on young talent development. The Guardians, however, are not standing still; they've made strategic moves to enhance their pitching staff and are counting on the development of young stars like Andrés Giménez and Steven Kwan to keep them competitive. The division race is expected to be tight, with each team having the potential to make significant strides, making the AL Central one of the most unpredictable divisions in baseball for the upcoming season.
