This week’s Twins Today features guests that combine for 25 All Star Appearances and 10 different Batting Titles. First, Rod Carew makes a special visit to the program to talk about his venture into Twitter, his relationship with Tony Oliva and his book One Tough Out. Then Joe Mauer stops by to preview which one of his former teammates will win the Mauer & Friends Kid’s Classic Home Run Derby this week. Finally, 1988 Twins All Star Tim Laudner joins us to talk catching philosophy in today’s game. Those conversations are accompanied by an interesting look at the how the new rules are impacting the game in Low A as we talk with Fort Myers Mighty Mussels broadcaster John Vittas as well as continued conversation on the foreign substance issue with The Athletic’s Dan Hayes.
