Passion for the Pastime: AL Central

Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine got off with a bang, as I attended the KISS concert, survived a rain storm and drove for what felt like 24 hours, all in a matter of 3 days. As we blast some Detroit Rock City, this week we will be looking at the AL Central. This division has to be one of the most intriguing divisions in the American League. The winners of the off season, the team on the south side of Chicago, The White Sox. They added the most pieces this off season, but that doesn't always translate to regular season success. How good will the White Sox be, and can they knock off the Twins. The Twins are looking even more deadly this season, adding Josh Donaldson to a squad that already hit 307 Homeruns just last season. They didn't need more power, but they sure got it, so the team homerun record looks like it with be broken again, for the fourth straight season. Talking about the long ball makes me think of Franmil Reyes, who the Indians acquired in a trade with the Padres and Red 3 team deal that included Trevor Bauer last season. Are the Indians good enough to take the crown from the Twins? If they aren't Francisco Lindor will be dawning a new jersey come trade deadline, in an attempt to rebuild the farm. Speaking of rebuild, that's where we find ourselves with the Detroit Tigers and the Kansas City Royals. Both have help on the way in the future, with multiple prospects, but this season, their fans will have to endure another long season. At least the Royals have Jorge Soler to watch each night. The Tigers fans on the other hand, this might be a good time to take a trip and forget 2020 ever happened.
