The decision by the Twins to not recall Byron Buxton for the final month of the season has raised many questions, and general manager Thad Levine joins the show to provide some insight and answers. The front office has not been successful in reaching Buxton directly to discuss their decision and they recognize the importance and welcome that conversation. Thad also discusses the Twins rolling out "the opener" concept in the series finale vs. Texas and more on this week's Inside Twins.

September call-ups and the direction for the team in that month is a hot topic on this week’s edition of "Inside Twins." Twins' CBO Derek Falvey discusses the possibility of the team using a 6-man rotation over the final month of the season, along with if the team will consider the concept of "an opener". The game has always evolved from era to era, and Derek feels it's a new way to prevent runs. The team is anxious to see Byron Buxton play in his 3rdstraight game for Rochester today, but there a ton of variables which will go into if Byron is called-up or just focused on a re-set in Spring Training. Derek also provides an update on Michael Pineda, Matt Belisle and Ervin Santana.

This week’s show was about three things… the draft, the draft and the draft. Twins CBO Derek Falvey says they may have “broke the coffee pot budget” with the organization’s extensive prep. He talks about some upgrades to the draft “war room”, in addition to the process and discussion which goes on inside those 4 walls. He provides honest assessments on the thoughts with the 20th pick in the first round, parting with a pick in the Phil Hughes trade, how he prefers athletes that have played more than just baseball and more. A very informative and entertaining show.

SVP, GM Thad Levine joins Kris Atteberry hours after the trade of Phil Hughes to the San Diego Padres as they go over the logistics that went into completing the move. That move also opens up an additional roster space to which Thad says allows the team to be more aggressive on the waiver wire and around the June 1st Minor League Opt-out date. Could the Phil Hughes trade result in more additions that what they received today? Plus, the two discuss the trend across the league that starting pitchers can’t face an lineup more than twice in a game and how to analyze those numbers. Those are just few of the highlights on this Memorial Day Weekend edition of Inside Twins.
