Every starting Twins infielder — Brooks Lee, Royce Lewis, Kody Clemens, and now Keaschall — changed positions in the past month. More change is coming.
Taking stock of the Twins' highs and lows at the season's midpoint, and looking ahead to their chances of avoiding the same second-half fate as last year.
Aaron and John talk about the Twins reaching the midpoint of the season below .500, Jeremy Zoll doing his best to shut down Byron Buxton trade speculation, Mick Abel going for surgery, Marco Raya getting called up, and the biggest bright spots and disappointments of the first three months.
Abel's latest setback came on the verge of rejoining the rotation; Wallner is doing his best Royce Lewis impression at Triple-A, but will it convince the Twins?
Aaron and John talk about Byron Buxton's greatness and the annual questions about his no-trade clause, Royce Lewis' hot (re)start, Mick Abel's imminent return, Kyler Fedko's outfield role, and how quickly Walker Jenkins can enter the mix now that he's healthy again.
Highlights include going 82-0, comfort at Brasa, old friends, Twins attendance, rescheduled giveaways, KAT champion, rooting for Nebraska, and Better Days.
Plus the Twins' injuries in league-wide context, Marek Houston's glove, Connor Prielipp's workload, bullpen blues, and the value of cash considerations.
Aaron and John talk about Royce Lewis' return to the Twins' lineup, why it's time to call up top prospect Kaelen Culpepper, a banged-up Byron Buxton continuing to slug, and Taj Bradley and Zebby Matthews going through similar issues in the rotation.
