The offseason has come to an end as MLB players have reported to their respective big league camps across the states of Arizona and Florida, so here are the most important players for each and every big league team heading into the 2020 season.

It has been a very long offseason. The Winter Meetings saw a number of MLB players, Stephen Strasburg, Anthony Rendon, and Gerrit Cole all sign in San Diego. The Houston Astros, New York Mets, and Boston Red Sox have had to fire their managers with Houston also letting go of their longtime GM.

But putting that all aside, it is time to start worrying about the MLB players who will actually be playing on the field.

When the word ‘X-Factor’ comes to mind, you might think of under the radar MLB players that will be an integral part of a team’s success this coming season.

D.J. LeMahieu for the Yankees, Jeff McNeil for the Mets, and Howie Kendrick for the Nationals come to mind last season.

This year that doesn’t change. There will be sneaky MLB players throughout the list for their respective teams, but there are also some exceptions.

X-Factors aren’t just the lesser name players. They can be star MLB players as well and with all the of the action that happened this winter since the Nats celebrated their first World Series in October, there is sure to be plenty of big names to go around.

So, without further ado let the conversation begin! Here is one player on every team that will make the biggest difference when it comes to their team’s success in the 2020 season starting with the American League East.
