There's really just one thing the Minnesota Twins can say they don't have — a true ace. That could change if they hop on the phone and call the Miami Marlins, who are rumored to be interested in moving former Cy Young-winning righty Sandy Alcantara.

In this edition of Locked On Twins, Brandon (@Brandon_Warne/@warne.bsky.social) and Dave (@answerdavebrown/@answerdave.bsky.social) break it all down, including what that trade would look like, if it actually makes sense and more, as well as a brief look into how the Twins fared in their doubleheader Friday afternoon (split-squad).

A wild story came out of Fort Myers on Thursday, as Twins players Jorge Alcala, Matt Wallner and Edouard Julien were all reportedly near a driver who crashed on Monday and, at least according to the players, took off after possibly endangering the lives of all three as well as Alcala's brother.

In this edition of Locked On Twins, Brandon (@Brandon_Warne/@warne.bsky.social) and Dave (@answerdavebrown/@answerdave.bsky.social) break it all down, including why the story doesn't seem to make that much sense, as well as who should hit leadoff and what Dave St. Peter's legacy will be when he leaves his post as team president in early March.
