2025 AL Central Team Previews

Eno and DVR continue their 2025 Team Previews Series in the AL Central. Can the Guardians continue to avoid projected decline after flipping Josh Naylor to the D-backs this winter? Will the Royals and Tigers follow-up their impressive runs to the postseason with a return trip to the playoffs? Can the Twins deliver on their status as the team with the highest projected win total in the division? And, while the short-term outlook is still cloudy for the White Sox, will the long-term picture come into focus over the course of the season?Rundown1:01 2025 Cleveland Guardians Preview18:48 2025 Kansas City Royals Preview31:16 2025 Detroit Tigers Preview47:50 2025 Minnesota Twins Preview1:03:32 2025 Chicago White Sox Preview1:11:40 A Selection of Sleepers From the AL CentralFollow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.socialFollow DVR on Bluesky: @dvr.bsky.sociale-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsNote: Win Total Projections for the episode are from Baseball Prospectus' PECTOA system at the time of the recording.
