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.
Lewis played first base and second base in his first two games back in the Twins' lineup, and their crowded infield may soon be adding a top-100 prospect.
Aaron and John talk about Royce Lewis crushing Triple-A and playing new positions to work his way back into the Twins' lineup, why Kaelen Culpepper might beat him there, questioning the handling of Simeon Woods Richardson, and why the big picture looks about as expected through 40 percent.
Aaron spends an hour in studio with Dan Barreiro, talking about the Twins' injury wrecked rotation, what to make of Royce Lewis' power binge at Triple-A, how to view this season's trade deadline, and the Timberwolves' upcoming offseason.
