The Minnesota Twins are racing out and hitting all of the home runs this Major League season. As of this show, they trail only the Mariners in the American League (and their 49 homers is an eye-catching total). Ramie Makhlouf and Derek Wetmore share their assessment of the Twins at this point in the year, right after beating up and sweeping the Baltimore Orioles. And some are speculating that the ball must be juiced. Smarter people will sort that out, but what we want to know is this. IF the ball is juiced, do you care? And finally an appreciation for Willians Astudillo after attending La Tortuga Night at Target Field.

The Twins signed Jorge Polanco to a contract extension. Do we like the signing? What are the other comparable deals around the league? They also agreed that Max Kepler gets his extension. Do we like THAT deal? And are there other deals in the MLB that we think mirror his? Does this mean they should go get your big-name free agents? Would you go get closer Craig Kimbrel? What changes about the winter plan now that these two guys are in the fold for the long haul. Any other Twins contract extensions on the horizon?

The best prospect in the Minnesota Twins farm system is ... Alex Kirilloff.
