About this episode
Minnesota Twins Spring Training storylines with CJ Baumgartner and Zeke Fuhrman as they spotlight Royce Lewis emerging as a beacon of optimism—if he can stay healthy. The team faces another gut punch as ace Pablo Lopez goes down with a season-altering injury, challenging hopes for a postseason push. Can the power combo of Lewis and Byron Buxton ignite this offense, or will recurring injuries keep the Twins mired in mediocrity?
The conversation heats up with roster battles in the infield and outfield, from Allan Roden’s bid for left field to the rise of Emmanuel Rodriguez and the potential for a youth-driven lineup shift. Zeke shares insight from his book "Land of 10,000 Aches," ranking the most heartbreaking Twins moments, and weighs in on MLB’s Top 100 list—debating whether stars like Mike Trout are underrated. Will the Twins rewrite their infamous history, or is another chapter of heartbreak looming?
