If you’re looking for a dark horse team, how about the often under-the-radar Twins?
They are a rare club with three bona fide superstars, but health issues for all three often prevent them from reaching their potential. Finally, all three are healthy.
Carlos Correa — the majors’ fourth-best player in 2024 based on WAR per plate appearance behind Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr. and Shohei Ohtani (and just ahead of Juan Soto) — and the even unluckier Byron Buxton and Royce Lewis all look good.
“When we’ve had our best seasons, it’s been with our best players contributing and staying on the field,” Twins president Derek Falvey said. “Carlos, Byron and Royce all had strong offseasons, and are coming into camp in a good place, which gives us a solid foundation.”
