The AL Central is easily the weakest division in baseball, and the Minnesota Twins can look forward to ruling it for the foreseeable future. Not only did they clinch the division last year with, brace yourselves, 87 wins, but the Twins also won their first playoff series in over a decade!
And better yet for the Twins, they’re in the catbird seat. They’re in a position to not only rule the AL Central, but possibly for a long time. Key players are under contract and the farm system is churning away.
This despite losing the ace of their staff to free agency and then trading away a fan favorite.
