X factor for each AL team
Hindustan TimesWith the start of the baseball season upon us, teams are finalizing their rosters, hoping to put together the group of players that will lead them to the postseason. They're counting on bounce-back years from several players, but the biggest ceiling belongs to this 21-year-old who got 177 valuable plate appearances during the second half of last season. American League Central Chicago White Sox: CF Luis Robert Jr. Robert smashed 38 homers and had an OPS of.857 in 2023, but slipped 200 points last year while missing 60 games. Detroit Tigers: 2B Gleyber Torres Once a 38-homer player, Torres had to sign a one-year "prove it" deal with Detroit because he amassed just 15 homers last season with a.709 OPS with the Yankees. Kansas City Royals: RHP Seth Lugo Lugo really thrived as a starter last season when he won 16 games and was the runner-up in the Cy Young voting.
