Show Notes

There is one more week until Major League Baseball season gets going, and Andrew Hoganson joins Dan to talk about the latest developments in Minnesota Twins spring training. That includes a host of injuries in the bullpen, plus news that Byron Buxton has tweaked his back enough to miss at least a couple spring training games. Hoges is particularly frustrated that the Twins didn't make a serious run at signing Blake Snell, while Dan asks whether Minnesota fans' eagerness for a championship would be assuaged by a Timberwolves title. Both Dan and Hoges love the Diamond Twins specials the team put together, though they wonder about Rocco's rah-rah-rah capabilities. Finally, they rank six position groups by level of confidence heading into the season. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
