Change could be on the horizon in Houston with longtime pillars Altuve and Bregman only under team control for one more season. Expect the Astros to continue maximizing the opportunity to win another World Series for at least one more season. An addition in the outfield will likely be a priority.How the rotation looks Steph Chambers / Getty Images Sport / Getty ROLE PITCHER THROWS fWAR 1 Justin Verlander R 1.4 2 Framber Valdez L 4.3 3 Cristian Javier R 1.9 4 Hunter Brown R 1.8 5 J.P. France R 1.3 The Astros are well-equipped in the starting rotation. The biggest unknowns heading into 2024 involve right-handers Lance McCullers Jr. and Luis Garcia. McCullers didn't pitch in 2023, while Garcia underwent Tommy John surgery in May. If there is any uncertainty about how much they can contribute next season, general manager Dana Brown will likely look to add another option to provide depth to the rotation. He will also need to add to a bullpen, with Neris, Stanek, and Maton all likely heading elsewhere.Los Angeles Angels Icon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / Getty2023 record: 73-89 (4th)Projected 40-man payroll: $153MKey departures: C.J.

The expected departure of Ohtani leaves the franchise in a very precarious state. It will be interesting to see what happens with Trout, who has made it clear he wants to win as he enters his age-32 season in 2024. Rendon has only played 148 games over the past three seasons due to a myriad of injuries. The seven-year, $245-million contract he received in 2019 has been a disaster for the Angels and could severely hamstring the team's ability to be flexible with spending. This lineup resembles more of a rebuilding team than one with ambitions of winning a World Series.How the rotation looks Sam Hodde / Getty Images Sport / Getty ROLE PITCHER THROWS fWAR 1 Reid Detmers L 2.5 2 Griffin Canning R 1.8 3 Patrick Sandoval L 2.3 4 Tyler Anderson L 1.1 5 Chase Silseth R 0.2 For the first time in a long time, the Angels have reason to be optimistic about homegrown talent in the rotation. Detmers, Canning, Sandoval and Silseth all showed flashes in 2023.

The team's move to Las Vegas was unanimously approved with 2024 shaping up to potentially be the last season for the franchise in Oakland. But beyond the grim state of affairs for Oakland baseball fans, there are actually some encouraging signs of growth from a handful of players in the lineup.
