Henry talks with Minnesota Twins Beat Reporter Bobby Nightingale from the Minnesota Star Tribune about the early takeaways from Spring Training, Joe Ryan's state of mind, questions about Byron Buxton's health, who's stood out early, his "must go" places in Fort Myers, and more.
Send a textOn the heels of the Olympics, the World Baseball Classic is nearly here, and David and Dan are excited about the chance to continue rooting for the United States, especially with Byron Buxton on the roster. They look around the league to see how the automated balls and strikes system is going while diving into the rosters of the WBC. They also look at the Minnesota Twins' roster, which is taking shape, even if there are more open spots and unknowns than there have been in many years. David is curious who will actually close games out of the bullpen, and Dan wonders how much room there is in the outfield -- and whose names will soon be on the jerseys available at the Twins online shop.

The Twins open their season tomorrow in St. Louis and Cory Provus joins Chad to talk about the big stories coming out of spring training and into the regular season.
Send us a textThe big news for the Minnesota Twins this week was about Royce Lewis -- and it wasn't a great kind of news. David and Dan discuss the most recent injury suffered by the oft-injured third baseman, looking at the ripple that creates down the roster, possibly leaving room for an unheralded newcomer who can play catcher, first and second. They also walk through what injuries in the bullpen might do to that bunch, while also celebrating that for the first time in a couple of years the rotation looks really solid. David wanders into a discussion about Formula One racing, which makes Dan wonder how often we'll get to see Tommy Watkins on Camera Feed No. 10 at Target Field this season.
