This video picks one possible trade candidate from each AL Central team before Opening Day 2027. Cleveland's Steven Kwan, coming off a career-high 85 walks, would bring back a strong return. Chicago's Munetaka Murakami, owed $17 million, hit 20 homers in 60 games before injuries interrupted his season. Minnesota could move Pablo López in a rebuild despite his surgery-lost 2026, and Detroit might eat part of Javier Báez's $23.3 million salary. Kansas City's Michael Wacha threw over 200 innings but allowed a career-high 30 home runs. These are predictions, not reported trade talks.

Japanese pitching star Kaima Taira could be an intriguing option for the White Sox as they look to upgrade their starting rotation, but questions about his long-term role make him a risky investment.
