PATIENCE: Minnesota Twins Must HOLD Royce Lewis in Minors Despite His Triple-A Domination

Minnesota Twins fans urge patience as Royce Lewis dominates Triple-A, but is he truly ready for a Major League return? C.J. Baumgartner breaks down Lewis’s hot streak, adjustments to his swing, and the ongoing need for improved plate discipline before he should return to the Twins. Today's episode explores the importance of letting top prospects develop fully, reflecting on past rehab stints and organizational strategy.   Taj Bradley’s recent struggles on the mound raise concerns about a rushed return from injury, with command issues and increased walk rates stalling his early-season momentum. Baumgartner spotlights how Minnesota’s upcoming seven-game stretch against the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers could be pivotal—can the Twins’ rotation rebound against weaker AL Central offenses and re-energize the fanbase? Get insight into potential prospect call-ups like Walker Jenkins and Kaelen Culpepper, and why this month could define the Twins’ 2024 campaign.   Photo Credit: Matt Krohn-Imagn Images   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-twins/   Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/mlb/   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! 5-Hour ENERGY Bring on the sweetness with Cotton Candy 5-hour ENERGY®️ shots—available online now at https://5hourENERGY.com or on Amazon.     Indeed Listeners of this show get a $75 Sponsored Job Credit to help give your job the premium placement it deserves at https://Indeed.com/podcast   KALSHI For a limited time, download the Kalshi app and use code LOCKEDON to get ten dollars when you trade ten.
