Back to Episodes'Stripes and 'Stros No More (2022 Twins Spring Training No. 1)
Description
What a week it was for the Minnesota Twins, who traded away Mitch Garver, temporarily gained two Rangers players in return and then promptly shipped one of them up to New York -- along with the lovable Ben Rortvedt and the divisive but talented and heavily compensated Josh Donaldson -- for a pair of Yankees infielders. Then came the bombshell signing of former Astros shortstop Carlos Correa, and all of that has David and Dan wondering how Twins fans will react to rooting for two players who once wore Pinstripes and another player who knew a thing or two about banging on trash cans (not to mention how the Twins can possibly still have a giant hole in their starting rotation). They unpack all the moves and then bicker about the league's decision to go back to the extra-inning runner on second, and they marvel at the magic penny that is Jake Cave, who is seemingly a lock to make the Opening Day roster.
