Derek Wetmore is embedded in Washington D.C. at the MLB Winter Meetings, and he and Phil Mackey discuss the latest Minnesota Twins (and Brian Dozier) trade rumors. Would you trade him to the Dodgers for stud pitching prospect Jose De Leon? What are Derek Falvey and Thad Levine saying about the rumors? And how much do Dozier's home runs matter?

Phil Mackey and Derek Wetmore discuss.

The Minnesota Twins have re-hired Torii Hunter, LaTroy Hawkins and Michael Cuddyer as special assistants in their front office. It would be easy to be cynical about the "country club" optics of the move for the Twins, but Phil Mackey and Derek Wetmore argue in this episode of Touch 'Em All that it's a smart play for an organization looking to catch up.

The Twins need an upgrade behind the plate, and Derek Wetmore and Phil Mackey disagree on how they should go about solving that problem. On this episode of the Touch 'Em All podcast, Wetmore suggests that the top free agent catcher on the market is Wilson Ramos. (Matt Wieters is second on his list.) Mackey says he could see the Twins going in a different route, and forgoing the free agent pool altogether. They also talk about Jason Castro, Mitch Garver, John Ryan Murphy, and the Matt Capps trade that was a big failure and hurt the franchise for years.
