John and Ben give their thoughts on the World Series so far before diving into decisions the Twins will have to make in the next two weeks to kick off the offseason, starting with $10 million team options on the longest tenured Twins, Max Kepler and Jorge Polanco. Then they look at the Twins’ smart piece of business when they acquired Sonny Gray back in 2022, and how that sets them up well this offseason whether he re-signs or goes elsewhere.

Finally, the guys debate which eligible prospects the Twins should protect from the Rule 5 Draft, including top prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez, speedy Austin Martin, and slugger Yunior Severino. Plus, which surprise prospects will make the 40-man roster this year?
