After wrapping up the 2025 season, David, Dan and Hoges look toward the offseason and the moves they would like to see the Minnesota Twins make before spring training. Dan praises the frugality of the Pohlad family, while David and Hoges would very much like to see the owners spend more money. They take a look at which players they think will be in the starting rotation, the bullpen and the lineup. They also discuss the likelihood of an MLB stoppage and the potential of a salary cap in the next collective bargaining agreement. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The choices of Derek Shelton for his coaching staff are falling into place just as new details from the latest sports betting scandal are coming to light out of Cleveland. David and Dan discuss both as they try to keep up with offseason news. Dan is skeptical about keeping Pete Maki as pitching coach, though David is more supportive. They both think the gambling is troubling, perhaps more troubling than any other form of cheating baseball has seen in its history. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
