Episode Details

Minnesota Twins ride Byron Buxton’s historic heroics as pitching depth faces major challenges. Can Buxton’s resurgence and fresh arms like Kendry Rojas keep Minnesota in playoff contention as injuries mount and rotation uncertainty grows?

CJ Baumgartner breaks down Buxton’s record-setting performance, the rapid rise of Riley Quick, and the stalled progress of Aaron Sabato in the farm system. Key talking points include the Twins’ underwhelming base running despite Luke Keaschall’s speed, Royce Lewis’ ongoing struggles at the plate, and looming questions about the bullpen and starting rotation with stars like Pablo López and Mick Abel sidelined. Plus, is a post-trade deadline shakeup at first base on the horizon?
