    Photo by Julian Avram/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The veteran could boost the lineup. The Royals have gotten off to a good start, but the season is long, and there are cracks in the edifice. The Royals are scoring 4.60 runs-per-game, good for 14th-best in baseball, but the production has been inconsistent. In 16 of their 35 games, the Royals have scored three runs or less. The offensi...2024

    • Why has no MLB team signed Brandon Belt?
    Photo by Daniel Shirey/MLB Photos via Getty Images The two-time World Series champion was a dangerous hitter last year, but he is still unemployed over a month into the 2024 campaign. During the 2023 MLB season, 212 different position players came to the plate at least 400 times. From that group, 35 players became free agents at some point during the offseason.

    Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images The Baby Birds zoomed up to 101 wins and the division crown in 2023, and their nest of prospects only continues to grow. For almost a decade, the daunting AL East was dominated by the high-profile New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, as well as the perennially savvy Tampa Bay Rays. In 2023, however, the division champion was none of those three teams; inst...2024

It’s entirely possible that four teams in this division win 90 or more games. Could that mean four postseason teams from the AL E...2024
