Locked On Twins

Minnesota Twins bid farewell to Edouard Julien, trading him to the Colorado Rockies in a move that sparks more questions about the team’s player development strategy.   C.J. Baumgartner unpacks Julien’s rapid rise and fall—highlighting his once-promising bat, defensive limitations, and how developing stars like Royce Lewis and Jose Miranda have also hit alarming roadblocks. With top prospects like Brooks Lee, Emmanuel Rodriguez, and Walker Jenkins on the horizon, can the Twins avoid repeating past mistakes? The episode explores Minnesota’s thinning bullpen options and examines free agents like Taylor Rogers, Paul Sewald, and David Robertson, plus the potential for internal arms—Connor Prelip or Marco Raya—to step up. C.J. Baumgartner breaks down the significance of adding Josh Bell, questions the long-term stability of the lineup, and previews how these moves shape the Twins’ playoff ambitions.
