Show Notes
Intro: Joe Mauer joins Michael Rand to talk about his charity softball home run derby at Target Field on June 15, which will feature plenty of other notable Twins greats like Jim Thome and Justin Morneau. Mauer has been keeping plenty busy since retirement with his three kids, but he's looking forward to crushing some softballs over the fence for a good cause. He gives thoughts on this year's Twins, dad life and the trash talk between teammates.
8:00: Using the Mauer segment as a jumping off point, Rand talks about the 2011 Twins and how this year's team has some unfortunate parallels. Among them: What might be the start of a decline in the play of Nelson Cruz, much like we witnessed with Thome a decade ago.
13:00: Marcus Fuller joins the show to talk about Gophers men's basketball recruiting, the transfer portal and what to expect now that new coach Ben Johnson can start meeting with recruits face to face during a critical period in the program's future.
