Aaron and John record an emergency podcast to talk about the trade sending Denard Span to the Nationals for pitching prospect Alex Meyer, what it means for Chris Parmelee, how Span went from prospect bust to underrated big leaguer, why letter grades for prospects can lead to arguments, dropping Deolis Guerra from the 40-man roster, adding Jeff Clement for Triple-A depth, and why Hulkamania will never die.

Aaron and John talk about the Twins' lack of activity compared to last offseason, Denard Span and Josh Willingham trade scenarios, 40-man roster additions, prospect lists and the men who love them, Tsuyoshi Nishioka getting a raise back in Japan, Brett Myers rumors, avoiding Jeremy Guthrie, and the joys of Thanksgiving.

Aaron and John are at GleeManor being filmed for a documentary and talk about Scott Baker signing with the Cubs, Torii Hunter's post-Twins career and return to the AL Central, poor Mike Redmond, how the local media has and hasn't changed in their decade of blogging, why the Tigers and Blue Jays seem more willing to make big moves than the Twins, and their planned trip to see Hannibal Buress.

Aaron and John talk about trade rumors, last week's aftermath and "the older gentleman" not paying his bar tab, terrible facial hair, local media moves, which starting pitchers Twins fans should dream about, having a Joe Maddon fetish, Claire Forlani and effective advertising, Denard Span versus James Shields, targeting Braves and Rays, and where to hide the dead prostitutes before next week's episode.

Aaron and John are joined by a few special guests dropping in and talk about John's lengthy interview with Terry Ryan in the Offseason Handbook, the end of the Alexi Casilla era, the arrival of Josh Roenicke and Tommy Field, Artie Lange and Kirby Puckett, Samuel Deduno's smoke and mirrors, the market for Scott Baker, manager Mike Redmond, promoting from within, and punching each other in the face.

Aaron and John yell over Wolvhammer at Surly Darkness Days and talk about adventures in motorcycling, saying goodbye to Matt Capps, the Minnesota Twins' reconfigured coaching staff, trying to re-sign Scott Baker, trimming the 40-man roster, how much the Twins would miss Ron Gardenhire, paying off a beer debt from six months ago, John's chat with Terry Ryan, and Luis Perdomo-fueled beard analysis.

Aaron and John talk about previewing the Minnesota Twins' offseason, figuring out how much money they have to spend, appreciating Jim Rantz, saying mazel tov to "class act" Delmon Young, breaking down the free agent market position-by-position, YouTube stardom, MLB-ready prospects, trying to predict Josh Hamilton's contract, clearing out the 40-man roster, adventures in dog-sitting, and a transaction tutorial.

Aaron and John talk about the incredibly exciting postseason, pros and cons of dog-sitting, the Twins' improved farm system, reveal what they're reading and listening to, give a quick tutorial on a bunch of sabermetric stats and concepts, and note the many ex-Twins in the playoffs.

The Minnesota Twins blow up their coaching staff, so Seth Stohs joins Aaron and John to talk about Ron Gardenhire's leash, the TwinsCentric Offseason Handbook, what the shopping plans are for free agent pitching, casting ballots for team MVP, why no one seems to want Paul Molitor, the futures of Trevor Plouffe and Liam Hendriks, how to lessen the upcoming outfield logjam, and why long podcasts are the best podcasts.

Aaron and John talk about the end of the Tsuyoshi Nishioka era, potential coaching staff changes, how safe Ron Gardenhire and Terry Ryan should be, the benefits of drinking outside, reviewing our over/under predictions from spring training, blessing animals, why Aaron is like Kiefer Sutherland, and thanking everyone for sticking with the podcast all season despite the Minnesota Twins' record.
