Aaron and John talk about the Twins' trade deadline options, including three potential areas to address, plus Royce Lewis, Jose Miranda, and Brock Stewart getting healthy, a winning series vs. the best team in baseball, and why payroll is, unfortunately, playing a big part in the front office's decision making.

Aaron and John talk about Carlos Correa and the many other key Twins players dealing with injuries as the second half begins, how the team could and should approach the trade deadline, why they went heavy on college hitters in the MLB draft, and what it will take to catch Cleveland in the AL Central.

Aaron and John talk about Willi Castro joining Carlos Correa as Twins in the All-Star game, Jose Miranda's historic hitting streak, Brooks Lee making a huge impact right away, Byron Buxton looking like his old self, and why the trade deadline could be hard to predict.

Aaron and John talk about Royce Lewis' latest injury, the Twins turning to Brooks Lee as his replacement, David Festa's short stint in the rotation, Chris Paddack's impending return, and the rise of Jose Miranda.

Aaron and John talk about David Festa joining the Twins' rotation in place of Chris Paddack, Byron Buxton reminding everyone how good he can still be, Carlos Correa's scary looking hit-by-pitch, and how Brooks Lee could work his way into the second-half lineup.

Aaron and John talk about the Twins being carried by Carlos Correa and Royce Lewis on absolute heaters, sending down Alex Kirilloff but not calling up Matt Wallner, and the added dimension Austin Martin can bring to a lineup.

Aaron and John talk about Royce Lewis' imminent return and the Twins' many different ways to make room for him, Joe Ryan's rising velocity, Jorge Alcala and Diego Castillo giving the bullpen a new look, and Simeon Woods Richardson's future.

Aaron and John talk about trying to make sense of the Twins at the one-third mark, Jhoan Duran's missing velocity, positive rotation trends, lagging attendance, the lack of left-handed lineup thump, and stretching the definition of "pleasant."

Aaron and John talk about the Twins' latest depressing series vs. the Yankees, how much the return of Byron Buxton could help a sloppy defense, why the same lineup can be so good and so bad, what to make of Alex Kirilloff's extended struggles, and lessons to be learned from the Timberwolves.

Aaron and John talk about the Twins' lineup and rotation stepping up to keep rolling against better competition, Ryan Jeffers and Max Kepler crushing everything, the latest on injuries to Byron Buxton, Royce Lewis, Brock Stewart, and Justin Topa, and why some bullpen blowups are inevitably in a stretch like this.
