Podcast appearances and mentions of Derek Falvey

This week the media flocks south for the next month for Minnesota Twins Spring Training so we checked in with Brandon Warne who covers the Minnesota Twins with his Locked On Twins and the Brandon Warne Show podcast - we asked him about what the future of the Minnesota Twins looks like after the departure of Derek Falvey from the front office, taking the temperature of Royce Lewis and more!

Aaron and John talk about the Twins' shocking breakup with Derek Falvey, what it means for the Jeremy Zoll-led front office and Tom Pohlad-led ownership group, and how the rotation, bullpen, and lineup look heading into the start of spring training.

John and Ben return for their first episode of 2026 to try to make sense of Derek Falvey's surprise mid-offseason departure from the Twins. They break down what has been reported, speculate on what likely happened behind closed doors, and talk about the newest debacle from the Pohlad family. Plus they take a look at the gargantuan task new decision maker Jeremy Zoll has in front of him with very little time to figure things out before the season begins. Learn more about your ad choices.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports. At the top of the list is the fallout from Friday's big news, with Derek Falvey and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah both out of jobs. Plus the Wolves, Gophers and a Reusse pickleball rant.

Send us a textFor as little as the Minnesota Twins roster has meaningfully changed this offseason, its front office and coaching staff has undergone substantial change. The latest move was the "mutual" departure of Derek Falvey, who had been with the organization for a decade, making key baseball decisions. Dan and Hoges discuss what can be made of the change and what it says about the frayed short-term future of the Twins, who appear destined for a sub-.500 season in 2026. Both Dan and Hoges are looking at a 2027 lockout as being more and more likely, which for the Twins might turn out to be just fine, given their current trajectory. Still, there is hope on the horizon with a handful of key prospects ready to play this season ... but who is going to pitch out of the bullpen?
