  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, anyway, sorry, yeah, wait, before we get into like
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the current state and what you just did, you know
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: this weekend against the Blue Jays, can you just tell
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: our audience a little bit about your story and finding
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a home here now with the twins bouncing around to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: some different organizations, you know, just run through a little
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: bit of what you've been through to get to this point.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Drafted in seventeen by the Pirates, went through a short
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: season with them and then their instructs, which was a
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: little bit of a grind back then, and then ended
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: up getting traded before spring and training in eighteen. Spent
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: six years with the Rays, grinded for to get two
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: days up, and then found myself minor league for age.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It signed with Miami and then kind of been around
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the block a couple of times with I think like
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: six or seven different teams, just trying to find a
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: place to stick. And it was actually on the Red
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Sox roster this offseason and then traded late to the
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: twins and yeah, now here we are just trying to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: trying to stick all right.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: So before we even get this interview off off the ground,
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: you are a grinder.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: You weren't grinding.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: I just got to make that clear, like very few
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: people are grinders. Aj says he was a grinder. He
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: wasn't a grinder, second rounder in the big leagues by
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: the time when he was twenty. You are officially a grinder.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: So when I was looking up your stats and everything
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: and your track all that stuff, so welcome to the crew.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: Now you're an alumni grinder cause you cause you're in
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: the big league so and you and you hit a
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: danger this weekend, so you're definitely you're definitely just an
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: alumni grinder. Now, But what does that look like? You've
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: seen so many different organizations. What do you see differently?
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: You said, you said something I'm sure you're talking about
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: in the clubhouse, a lot block out, all the noise.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: How does that look differently for you but also for
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: what you've seen in the other organizations.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a lot of it is the understanding
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: that it's it's your career, right, and you know, I
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: just became obsessed with not necessarily like trying to play
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: at the big league level for attention or anything.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: It was more of I love this game.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I love playing the game of chess in the box,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and I just feel like I can compete at the
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: highest level. And I just couldn't, you know, get away
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: from like, I know I can do it. I know
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I can do it. I just need the opportunity. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: there were times whenever I felt like I should have
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: gotten opportunities and it didn't happen, and those thoughts came
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: into my mind of just, you know, why isn't this happening.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: But then I just kind of quickly came up in
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: my mind of what do those thoughts matter? You know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day, if I get the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: opportunity and I'm dwelling on the fact that I got screwed.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: You know, a couple of weeks before, it just doesn't
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: do me any good.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: So I just kind of fell in love with the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: grind and preparation, and now whenever I'm out there, I
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: just know that I've prepared and now it's hame to
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: have fun because I know that I can can do
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: this and enjoy play in front of all these people.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: By the way, you forgot white sox. You forgot you're
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: a former white Sox, white sock.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Great, that's not for you. One day didn't get glory days.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: That's still though.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: That's one day, well more day than crafts got to
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: experience it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: So that's fine.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: How do you teach? How do you tell people this?
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Like what you just said is great because I always
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: have people always ask me, oh, you know, how do
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: you do this?
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: And how do you do that? And I said, it's
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: your career.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: At some point, you're gonna have to stop listening to
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: seventeen hitting coaches, twelve twelve trainers, eighteen wait people because
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: everyone wants to put their little stamp on you. Right, So,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: how did you finally get to the point where you said,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: it's my career, I'm going to kind of do it
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: my way.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: It kind of came whenever they talked about and I
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: won't say who, but it was strike out too much
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and you walk less or you don't walk enough, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: so whenever you figure that out, we'll let you know.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: And it was never really presented to me how to
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: go about it. This was early on in my career,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: and so that was quickly when I found out like, oh, okay,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: like it's up to me.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I've seen it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I've played with so many good players that just never
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: got the opportunity, and so I just realized, like everybody
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: has the talent, but like, who is going to stick around?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Who's going to grind and figure out on their own
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: to an extent. But at the same time, it's it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: about enjoying playing with all the other guys that are
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: also in the same boat. So if we're all like
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I just got obsessed with winning and trying to do
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: that in the minor leagues, and and just if I
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: can do it there, like, I'm just gonna treat it
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: the same way if I ever get the opportunity, if
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I get called up.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Do you feel like you are.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: The majority in the big leagues? Do you feel like
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: because everybody hears about the superstars, everybody hears about Do
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: you feel like your story is more applicable or can
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: can apply can be applied to more people's careers than like, say,
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: a Bryce Harper story, a Trey Turner, a show Heyo
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Tani story. Do you feel like your career is more
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: of the majority than the minority in the big leagues.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I think absolutely.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I think so just because you just look at the
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: amount of time or the average time now in the
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: big leagues is what two years.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: You know, it's lasting.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: And so if you get caught up with all of that,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: those thoughts of like, oh, I'm gonna be Bryce Harper
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: and then you don't you're entitled to getting this opportunity
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: or that's just gonna get in the way. If you
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: can just be you know, the guy that's just obsessed with,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you know, getting other guys around you to play better,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and in turn they do that same for you, it
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: just makes going to work for one hundred and sixty
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: two games or one hundred and fifty games in the
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: minor league that much better.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: All right, let's get to the Twins. What are the
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Twins doing right? Because most people thought, including myself I'm
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: a former Twin, that they were that you guys were
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: not gonna be that great this year, and you guys
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: are off to an unbelievably good start swinging the bats,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: you guys are pitching. Well, what is Derek Shelton brought
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: to the Twins that you were maybe surprised about or
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: what are you.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Guys doing right?
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I think it's the way that we're going about our
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: bats or just the playing the game in general. I
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: think we've got a culture of like doing whatever it
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: takes to win. It's not necessarily all right, you get
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: up in that spot and I'm going to get the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: big hit. Sometimes it takes taking that walk or putting
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: the ball in play that leads to a guy getting
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: the hit behind you. The other day, I think Austin
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Martin beat out a ground ball when to second he
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: was at first, He beat out a ground ball for
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: somebody bases loaded, and the next guy got an opportunity
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: with less than two outs and bases loaded. So just
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: finding ways to get, you know, moving the ball forward
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: and not trying to be the hero every single at bat,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: and just understanding that it's a collective nine trying to
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: put up runs. And then defensively in pitching, I think
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: we've just been doing a good job of knowing where
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: to be and how to attack guys, and our catchers
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: have been unreal at the abs.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: So I think all that's playing in Kratz.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: The world has a cord problem. Wires everywhere. It's twenty
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: twenty six and it is time to get a.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Ridge wallet five and one. It's not a wallet, it's
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: a charger. Look at this thing. It sticks to your phone.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: You push the button, it charges your phone while you
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: can charge two different items at the same time. Oh
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: and don't forget while it's charging. You got at a
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: little lean to John that'll help it sit right there.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Appreciate your Ridge wallet.
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: This is so nice, which is great for me. If
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: I'm at the airport, I'm watching a game, I can
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: charge five devices and then I can just watch something
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: on the phone. Of course, they still have the wallets
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: that are money too, and we know the code. It's
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: nice and simple. It's foul foul one thing to pack.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: Five to power. You can find Ridge's power bank at
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: best Buy or our listeners can get ten percent off
• 9:04

• 9:09
  Speaker 7: all set. After your purchase, they'll ask you where you
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: heard about him. Please support ft until them We sent
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: you so.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: Because of the ABS, you guys are better.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I love that. I love that explanation.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: For sure, good, it's proven for sure. I think the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: stats are out there.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and they have And Jeffers was I think eight
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: of his ten overturned calls were for strikeouts. Did you
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: guys hear or have you guys talked about that, like
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: how big of the spot it needs to be? Or
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: is it just one of those things that Jeffers is like, yeah,
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: well this is a big spot. I'm gonna use it
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: because they're wrong.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I think it's not so much of it's more of
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: just trusting that you understand the zone. They know if
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: it's a little close. I mean, they just have an
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: understanding of the game of the game.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: You know. Catchers are that way.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: And I think it's not being scared, it's just knowing
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: and trusting. And whenever people have gotten it wrong, no
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: one has said a word or been mad about anything.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: It's just like, all right, we're out. Whatever it was,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: just keep playing. So it's one of our focuses of
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: just being confident and also not holding too much weight
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: on it if you get it wrong.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: We were talking about tired narratives before, and I watched
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: a couple of your games this year, and around the
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: league everybody's like, oh, well, this team's struggling because it's
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: cold or this. I watched a couple of y'allose games,
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: y'all have played in an absolute frozen tundra. Does it
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: affect teams the same way or do you feel like
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: it's a mindset? Because I saw your playing in a
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: game where the other team announcer was saying, Wow, it's
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: so cold out there, and then you guys just kept
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: scoring run after run, hitting the digger, scoring run after run.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I think it definitely can affect you if you allow it.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I definitely think it's a mentality. But I mean, before
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: the games, we're all talking about it, complaining about it,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: but we're also in the lathering up with vasiline, just
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: finding tricks or ways to uh not allow the weather
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: to affect you.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Okay, So then what is the craziest thing you've seen
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: any of you? Because you said you're lathering up with
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: vasiline for everybody who hasn't for who hasn't played you
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: put vasoline on it. It will keep you, it will keep
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: you warmer, but you're still cold. But what's the craziest
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: thing you've seen somebody do to try to stay warm?
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: And has anybody burned their socks on the industrial heater
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: that's usually at the end of the dugout.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I've seen some red hot be put in some places
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that probably doesn't normally go. I haven't tried that one,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: but I've heard it works.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Amar got talking to one of our hitting coaches a
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: little too close to that the heater and his pantletic
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: caught on fire.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Seen it. We all signed sign and gave it to him.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: Stay away from the kids danger. So here.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: This all leads me to my next question, Tristan, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: love target Field and I love the Twins, Go Twins.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Why didn't they put a roof on that stadium?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I just got here. That's that's the way I know.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: You know what.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: You had to pay Mike Herman's salary. That's why they
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: couldn't afford to put the stadium.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: That's why what would you rather it be that or
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: his former team, the Rays with the trop.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: At least the Troup. It's not cold and they know
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: they're going to play.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: It's a little prettier in Minnesota, it is.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: I love targeting. Target Field is one of my favorite places.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: The fans are on top of you. Yes, you feel
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: like the fans are sitting on you, and it's awesome.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: You saw it for the playoffs a few years on
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: that series.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's great.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Target Field is one of the best, the best places
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: to play to be and they've done a great job
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So I have a question while we're on the rays
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: for a moment, because you played with Chandler Simpson, right,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: mm hmm, So how would you rate his speed compared
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to like anyone else that you've faced in the minors
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: or in the bigs.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: What else crats Byron Buckson?
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: No, No, Byron Buckson has the same spring speed as
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: Chandler Simpson.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Wow, I did not know that.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: But also I will say I've been watching buck for
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: the first time up close this year and I just
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: look at everybody like is this for real?
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Like is this guy really doing that?
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: But with Chadler, I feel like it's he's It just
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: seems a little bit. I don't know if he's maybe
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: because he's smaller in stature, but man, Chandler, Chandler flies,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: and he loves it. He loves and that's the way
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: that he plays and you know it with the fake
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: bunts or putting it actually down.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I think he's definitely fastest in the league.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like I don't want to say, there's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder, but he's the kind of
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: player that's like more quote old school these days, where yeah,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: he might slap some hits. I know he's hitting the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: all harder this year, but still, it just kind of
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: felt like he was up against the industry based on
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: his hitting profile. So I'm just curious, as someone who
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: was also told hey, you have to do this, not that,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: what did you observe with someone like Chandler, who I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: think fifteen years ago would have been all the talk
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and now it's like, oh, well, he doesn't swing the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: batfast enough, he doesn't hit the ball hard enough. And
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: then meanwhile, I just watched him take on the Yankees
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: this weekend and just run circles around them.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's been awesome to see him stick
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: to who he is. I think I've I at least
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: noticed it from his at bets from this year to
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: compared to last year. He's perfected being inside the baseball
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: and just hitting those low liners. And I've talked to
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: him about I've seen him work, and the guy grinds.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: He grinds it just being short to the baseball, and
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I think it's paying off. I mean, as soon as
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: he puts it in play, the infield is very much
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: aware that they cannot bobble the ball, and I think
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: that plays a huge can do.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: His game, Tristan, do you know who's behind you on
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: the photo?
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I don't now, but.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: It says it on it. It says it on it.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: Can you read this signature?
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Where's the thing?
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Right right on the chest?
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Says yeah? When were you born? And we haven't had
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to recursive in a very long time. I was gonna
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: say it, Rice.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: They don't teach those things, so you know, you gotta
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: be careful. That's that's Harmon Killbrew, by the way, who
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: is one of the greats of all time. So if
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: you're gonna be with the Twins for a while, you
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: might want to know who Harmon Kilbrew is.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: He's also the MLB.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Logo on your hat. So that's probably a guy that
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: you might want to get to know. Yep, well, I
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: mean he's he's past, but just Twins territory. They love,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: they love Harmon Kilbrew. But the reason I bring it
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: up is I always have a conversation. I tell the
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: story that Harmon Kilber. You see his autograph, he would
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: tell you you have to sign your autograph perfectly, so
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: if you look at it. That's why I thought you
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: could be able to read it, because he signs his
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: autograph every time.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Every letter is perfect.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Now that you say it, I now see it. Yeah,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: but I did not before I panic, So it happens.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's why you're fine.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Do you fish? Do you fish? Yeah? Okay. Do you
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: know that.

  Speaker 2: I have. We haven't talked about that yet.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: You need to go up to him today when we're
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: done with this interview and say, hey, AJ wants to
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: know why you haven't taken me to fish the runoff.
• 16:38

  Speaker 3: it gets warmer.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So he's one of the he's one of the

• 17:04
  Speaker 6: So all right, last question, and this one's for AJ
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: to listen to and you to answer. Did you have
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: to pay for your sleeveless fleece that you're wearing right now,
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: your hooded sweatshirt that you're wearing.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: Okay, See, now you came to the Twins organization at
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: a better time because when AJ was there, they had
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: to pay for their fleeces. They didn't get them because
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: they played in a dome. So the Twins have moved
