Show notes

How many players do you think will be on the Twins roster in 2019 from the current club? How confident are you? Phil Mackey and Derek Wetmore discuss their ides on this episode of the Touch 'Em All podcast, and there's really only one player they disagree on. The bottom line: You can probably fairly expect a lot of roster turnover if the Twins are going to get to where they want to be in the next 2 or 3 years.
