Grading the AL Central's offseason: After sending 3 teams to the playoffs, how did the division fare this winter?

The AL Central was the only division in MLB with four winning teams in 2024 .

The division champion Cleveland re-signed SP Shane Bieber to a 2-year deal.

The Guardians traded Andres Gimenez to Toronto and traded Josh Naylor to Arizona .

Kansas City added SP Michael Wacha to the Royals on a 3-year contract.

The Royals were one of the best stories of last season , going from 106 losses in 2023 to 86 wins and a playoff berth.

The Tigers have run a similar playbook to recent offseasons: little to no trade activity and short-term free-agent contracts.

Free agent Alex Bregman looms as the most obvious opportunity remaining for Detroit to make a big splash.

The Twins are one of just four teams (along with the Brewers, Cardinals and Marlins ) that haven’t signed a free agent to a major-league deal this winter .

Minnesota ’s inactivity can be attributed to the franchise being in something of a transitional state with regard to its ownership.

The White Sox have acted roughly as you’d expect a team in their position to act.
