About this episode

The episode discusses the need for the Minnesota Twins to reconsider Austin Martin's role and the potential benefits of a platoon strategy.

Minnesota Twins face tough questions as Austin Martin’s everyday role exposes troubling splits. Should he return to platoon duty vs. left-handed pitching? C.J.

Can a Martin-Wallner tandem provide the boost Minnesota needs?
