OVERPAY: Why The Minnesota Twins Adding SP Dean Kremer Wasn't Worth The Cost

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 06:59:11 GMT

Minnesota Twins overpay for Dean Kremer in crucial trade—does this move strengthen their postseason push or expose roster vulnerabilities? C.J. Baumgartner breaks down the blockbuster deal sending top-25 prospect Jhomnardo Reyes to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for Kremer, questioning the value sacrificed for back-end rotation depth. Analysis centers on Kremer’s recent struggles, his contract through 2027, and what this means for young pitchers like Bailey Ober, Zebby Matthews, and Connor Prielipp as roster decisions loom.

Key topics include the Twins’ deepening rotation crisis, the ripple effects of recent trades for A.J. Minter, and whether the front office should chase additional starting pitching targets like Tyler Mahle or Robbie Ray before the trade deadline. Are the Twins building enough depth to compete in the AL Central, or are they still one move away from postseason confidence? Tune in for all the latest Minnesota Twins trade analysis and strategic insight.

WIN-NOW: Minnesota Twins Trade For AJ Minter TRANSFORMS An Ascending Bullpen

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 22:49:22 GMT

Minnesota Twins fortify their bullpen with the acquisition of AJ Minter from the New York Mets—could this savvy trade be the key to a playoff push? C.J. Baumgartner breaks down why AJ Minter’s arrival stands out as the most realistic and impactful move at the deadline, analyzing what the Twins gave up and how the new lefty upgrades the late-inning relief corps.

Key topics include Minter’s role replacing Anthony Banda, the implications for Taylor Rodgers, Kendry Rojas, and Connor Prielipp, and how this shift raises the bullpen’s floor. C.J. Baumgartner explains Minter’s strengths—strike-throwing, limiting walks, and veteran poise—while addressing concerns about win probability added. Has the Twins’ bullpen quietly become a strength since July 1? Find out how this trade shapes Minnesota’s postseason hopes and what it means for the team’s roster strategy moving forward.

Minnesota Twins Team of Destiny Hinges on Fixing Lineup and Pitching NOW After Kody Clemens Walk-Off

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 23:17:22 GMT

Minnesota Twins ignite playoff hopes with a walk-off grand slam from Kody Clemens, fueling “team of destiny” buzz. Can the Twins maintain their momentum and address key weaknesses before the trade deadline?

C.J. Baumgartner spotlights Minnesota’s urgent needs: stabilizing a shaky starting rotation and targeting a right-handed corner outfield bat to crush left-handed pitching. The episode breaks down trade targets like Lane Thomas and Tyrone Taylor, examines the lineup’s struggles since the All-Star break—including a sharp drop in power and barrel rate—and argues for Kendry Rojas’ move to the starting rotation. With the AL Central wide open and recent dramatic wins, the Twins’ ability to hit hard, lift the ball, and maximize emerging stars like Royce Lewis could determine their playoff fate. Will roster upgrades and key role shifts keep Minnesota’s postseason dreams alive?

The Team That Never Dies (Twins-Royals Series, 7/28-7/30)

David Kuhfuss and Dan Thompson — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Send us Fan Mail

Sandwiched around one of their most disappointing games of the season were two of the Minnesota Twins' most exciting ones, with walk-off hits from Royce Lewis and Kody Clemens giving them a series victory over the visiting Kansas City Royals. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for David and raves about the walk-offs as well as the Twins' bullpen, which made both the victories possible. Dan stands pat with his feelings about the trade deadline, while Hoges is still prepared to trade one of the team's key players so long as Minnesota gets a good return. They look around the league at Tariq Skubal's possible landing spots, and generally they just bask in the joy of watching a team in late July contend for the playoffs.

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 21:56:07 GMT

Minnesota Twins commit to being buyers at the MLB trade deadline—will ownership and the front office finally deliver meaningful upgrades for a playoff push? Key questions arise as Byron Buxton’s injury and the potential call-up of top prospect Walker Jenkins could reshape the team’s outfield and October ambitions.

Why Minnesota Twins Should Pursue A Reuinion Tyler Mahle Over Bullpen Options at Trade Deadline

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 22:50:16 GMT

Minnesota Twins eye starting pitching depth over bullpen fixes as the MLB trade deadline looms—could a Tyler Mahle reunion be the key move? C.J. Baumgartner breaks down why bolstering the rotation with arms like Tyler Mahle, Robbie Ray, Brady Singer, or Freddy Peralta should top Minnesota’s wish list, and what it might cost in prospect capital. How will these potential trades shape the Twins’ postseason push, and is a soft buy the right strategy?

With Walker Jenkins knocking on the door, the conversation heats up around clearing 40-man roster space—does trading a surging Trevor Larnach open the path to the big leagues for Jenkins? The episode examines Connor Prielipp’s innings limit and why shifting him to the bullpen post-deadline could maximize his impact down the stretch. Can the Twins manage roster crunches, prospect promotions, and playoff aspirations all at once? Tune in for smart analysis on Minnesota’s next moves.

UNMATCHED: Taj Bradley Dominates as the Best Return From Minnesota Twins 2025 Trade Deadline

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 17:52:41 GMT

Taj Bradley cements his place as the Minnesota Twins top trade deadline acquisition, fueling playoff hopes with ace-caliber performances. Can Bradley and Joe Ryan's 1-2 punch stabilize a shaky rotation and keep the Twins in the AL Wild Card race?

C.J. Baumgartner breaks down the significance of Bradley’s recent dominance, examines the value of the Twins’ 2025 deadline returns, and discusses what Minnesota needs in a pivotal nine-game stretch against the Athletics, Kansas City Royals, and Seattle Mariners. With the offense ranking among MLB’s best, the conversation shifts to whether the Twins should be buyers or sellers ahead of the trade deadline, the urgency for the lineup to exploit weak opposing pitching, and which struggling relievers or expiring contracts could soon be on the move. Will the Twins’ offense deliver and spark a late-season surge, or is a roster shake-up inevitable?
