Aaron Gleeman has been covering the Minnesota Twins for over 25 years. He co-hosts the Gleeman and The Geek podcast and was previously senior writer at The Athletic, editor-in-chief at Baseball Prospectus, and senior writer at NBC Sports.
Aaron and John talk about the Twins playing the Field of Dreams game and the Bonnes' experience in Iowa, the return of Byron Buxton, what to make of Luke Keaschall, Kaelen Culpepper's debut, why calling up Walker Jenkins makes sense too, and celebrating the 15-year anniversary of the podcast.
Buxton could be eyeing a Field of Dreams comeback on Netflix. Plus, a state-of-the-site check-in after three months of independence and a St. Paul dream.
After slow starts, Lewis and Wallner were sent to Triple-A in May. Three months later, one is back in the Twins' plans and one sounds resigned to moving on.
Aaron and John recap the Twins' trade deadline moves to add Jeff Hoffman, A.J. Minter, and Dean Kremer, speculate about the moves they didn't make while keeping the lineup intact with Ryan Jeffers and Trevor Larnach, and wonder what's wrong with Joe Ryan.
By adding Hoffman, A.J. Minter, and Dean Kremer without subtracting any major leaguers, the front office gave the Twins a real chance to grab a playoff spot.
Zoll said adding pitching, and specifically bullpen help, "will be a clear focus." But the status of catcher Ryan Jeffers, an impending free agent, is still up in the air.
