    • 2024 AL Central preview: The search for signs of life beyond Minnesota
    Photo by Frank Jansky/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Twins needed only 87 wins to take the division title in 2023. The ceiling probably won’t be much higher. In 2023, the AL Central was easily the worst division in baseball. It wasn’t in danger of going full 1994 AL West or anything, but at the All-Star break, the Cleveland Guardians were in first place at a dead-even 45-45. All four...2024

It was even better in 2020 when the Twins were sixth in baseball with a 3.62 bullpen ERA. But before that, a 4.39 bullpen ERA in 2021 (21st in MLB) and a 3....2024
