Twins Spring Training Telecasts to Feature Johan Santana

A sure sign that winter is winding down is that 2021 Twins Spring Training has begun! The Twins announced details on their telecast, which will include a fan favorite in the broadcast booth.

According to TwinsBaseball.com, FOX Sports North will telecast 13 Grapefruit League games featuring the team. The FOX Sports North crews will consist of play-by-play voice Dick Bremer alongside Twins alumni LaTroy Hawkins and, for the first time ever, Twins Hall of Famer Johan Santana.

While the first telecast is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 3 when Minnesota hosts the Boston Red Sox at Hammond Stadium, fans will have to wait a bit for Santana to make his debut.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner, who was also a part of four division-winning Twins teams, will debut as part of a three-man booth on Friday, March 26 when the Twins play the Atlanta Braves at 5:00 p.m. He will then join Dick Bremer for the Saturday, March 27 game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
