I believe that Triston Casas will take a leap into stardom in 2024. I think the rotation, while lacking an ace, will pleasantly surprise people with all five guys performing as solid number threes. I think Trevor Story, while no longer capable of playing like he did in Colorado, will hit twenty-five homers and vastly improve the defense. And still, I think this team has no chance of...
