Xander Bogaerts – Red Sox

Xander has started off the season quite well, and if he continues to play like this, then he can be an MVP candidate this season for the American League.

Carlos Correa – Twins

Carlos Correa was the big-money signing for the Twins during the offseason, and he started to show glimpses of his stardom on the field, which is a very promising sign for the Twins.
