Royals will not contend next year. Lugo and to an extent Wacha are fool's gold. There's not much in the minors and Perez is going to eventually lose out to Father Time. Even with Witt and Pasquatini, unless they become exorbitant spenders, the Royals look like a .500 team.
Cleveland will shed payroll. Naylor and/or Clase will be moved instead of getting the hefty arbitration raises.
If the baseball gods simply stop frowning down on the Twins and give Correa and Lewis 135 games and keep the starting pitchers healthy, 2025 could be special.
