As the first half concludes, Twins CBO Derek Falvey stops by for a detailed discussion on his team at the break. This current successful homestand has giving Derek more time to find the team’s identity, and he likes to evaluate his squad in 10-game increments. The trade deadline is looming, but over the last 3 years 80% of the acquisitions have occurred within the 5 days leading up that date, so there is time to decide between buyer or seller. He also offers some injury updates on Buxton and Nick Gordon, and touches base on the pitching trend of "the opener concept" Tampa Bay has rolled out of starting a relief pitching. It’s a jam packed edition of "Inside Twins."
