1/9/19: Twins Hot Stove Show

New Twins manager Rocco Baldelli returns to the Twins Hot Stove Show to get us caught up on his recent hometown visits of Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano. Baldelli provides his perspective on the addition of Nelson Cruz as an opponent of his as well as what has been the biggest surprise in his first two months on the job. We hand the ball to reliever Taylor Rogers in the second segment to discuss the new skipper, the evolution of his slider in 2018 and how happy the Twins' pitching staff is to see Nelson Cruz in its dugout. Rogers closes out the show by taking three cuts, which includes his take on “spin rate” in a sport other than baseball.
