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.
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.
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 and John talk about Royce Lewis joining Matt Wallner in St. Paul, the Twins losing Ryan Jeffers for 6-8 weeks, Gabriel Gonzalez's short-term arrival, choosing Orlando Arcia over Kaelen Culpepper, and Taj Bradley getting close.
Aaron and John talk about the Twins sending Matt Wallner back to Triple-A, why changes could also be coming with Simeon Woods Richardson and/or Royce Lewis, Zebby Matthews' impressive return to the rotation, and why the bullpen still doesn't make much sense.
Aaron and John talk about the Twins' ongoing struggles stemming largely from bullpen implosions, good news on Joe Ryan and bad news on Mick Abel, why the Royce Lewis situation is so difficult, Triple-A injuries ruining some prospect plans, and an always scary trip to Cleveland.
In a special free release of a Patreon-exclusive Gleeman and The Geek episode, Dick Bremer joins Aaron and John to discuss his 40-year career as the voice of the Minnesota Twins.
