A sweep of the A’s has the Twins back in first place of the AL Central. John and Ben recap a weekend of weird performances versus the dismal A’s and what the Twins can take away from it. Then, they recap the Twins’ draft picks, including who has signed, who has yet to sign, and who likely won’t sign at all, and give their favorite late round picks that could pan out to be future contributors.

Finally, the guys go DEEP on potential trade deadline acquisitions, from top line talent to bargain bin options (Justin Turner and Cody Bellinger, come on down!), and debate whether the Twins should be willing to part with top 100 prospects for a team that has looked underwhelming.
