That's Wild
The Minnesota Wild have roughly $15.3 million in projected cap space this summer but that doesn't really help them all that much. Only 13 skaters are under contract with seven players heading into unrestricted free agency and two restricted free agents in Bobby Brink and Daemon H...
The Minnesota Timberwolves know they need to add another star player to help take the attention off Anthony Edwards, and to prove to Ant that they're serious about contending in the tough Western Conference, lest he might start considering bolting the Twin Cities. Giannis Antetokounmpo seems to be their No. 1 target this summer, but as noted by Christopher Kline in Fansided , the T-Wolves don't have the massive draft capital that any trade for Giannis would ultimately require. Inst...
Quinn Hughes largely did his job in the playoffs, but Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy left people wanting.
Kaprizov had two goals and had six points against the Colorado Avalanche, but he didn’t have any shots on net in the Minnesota Wild’s Game 5 collapse. Meanwhile, Boldy only had one goal and...
The Minnesota Vikings’ search for a new general manager has taken a more deliberate path, if that’s the right term, beginning with the decision to fire Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in late January and put off a search for a new GM until after the draft, naming EVP of Football Operations Rob Brzezinski as interim GM. Wilf […]
Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Isaiahh Loudermilk is signing with the Minnesota Vikings, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. He joins former Steelers teammate James Pierre, who also signed with Minnesota this offseason. Loudermilk was drafted by the Steelers in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Wisconsin. In four seasons with the […]
Last season, for my inaugural crystal ball look at the 2025 Minnesota Vikings season, I stepped on a rake. I had our favorite team going 12-5, largely because of early optimism about J.J. McCarthy’s readiness. While the reasoning seemed sound, a rookie season comparable to those of C.J. Stroud, Jayden Daniels, and Bo Nix didn’t […]
The Minnesota Wild must re-sign Michael McCarron because he fills a specific void that winning teams almost always have: a big, physical, reliable depth forward who can handle tough minutes.
Since arriving in Minnesota, McCarron has fit the team's fourth-line identity almost perfectly. He brin...

Spoiler alert: He's looked really, really good.
It’s been almost a week since the Minnesota Timberwolves season came to a flaming end. Though the final on the court memory of the Wolves was them getting smacked with eight minutes of garbage time left, there were still plenty of good parts to the journey. Let’s not lose sight of all that. So let’s […]
Imagine, if you will:
After a long, grueling season, the Minnesota Wild enjoyed a day out on the lake. Most of the Wild players had gathered for some relaxation on a beautiful spring day, but general manager Bill Guerin walked right past them, jumped in his boat, and headed out to do some fish...
The Minnesota Wild might be big-game hunting. Everything general manager Bill Guerin is saying about how nobody is untouchable and even Wayne Gretzky got traded, just shows that he's trying to make a big swing or two, in addition to the massive swing he took by trading for Quinn Hughes earlier this...
The Minnesota Vikings’ search for their next general manager rolls along… and has lingered a bit in the Pacific Northwest. After firing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah at the end of January, the team in the Twin Cities is still looking for the head man for the big front office role. Adofo-Mensah was released by the team, speculatively, […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves failed to get out of the Western Conference once again in these playoffs. A second-round defeat followed two straight years making it to the Conference Finals before falling. With that in mind, they're eyeing two huge moves. The Timberwolves are looking to move to the Eastern Conference, per @DWolfsonKSTP They are also looking to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo. “Yes, they want to be in the Eastern Conference, but that's still a few years out if it even hap...
The search for the next General Manager for the Minnesota Vikings is moving along, and with the first round of interviews in the books, the team has reportedly narrowed their list down to a final five candidates. According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, the five candidates who are being called back for second, in-person […]
The big news, this afternoon, is that Jose Berrios had full Tommy John surgery, so he’ll be out for a year at very least. The good news keeps coming. The told us yesterday that they were going to ‘remove loose bodies’ in his elbow and see what else needs fixing. I’m sure when Berrios woke […]

The Las Vegas Raiders began their OTA sessions this week and new head coach Klint Kubiak spoke to the media on Wednesday. As expected, veteran addition Kirk Cousins was working with the first-team offense Wednesday. Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall draft pick, was working mostly with rookies, which is expected. Expect Mendoza’s time with […]
The GM search is still ongoing and now it appears they are down to 5 candidates. They are … interim GM Rob Brzezinski, Broncos assistant GM Reed Burckhardt, Bills assistant GM Terrance Gray, Rams assistant GM John McKay and Seahawks assistant GM Nolan Teasley.

When the Minnesota Timberwolves were blown out in Game 6 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the San Antonio Spurs to end their season, one thing was abundantly clear: the team needs to get better. It was the third straight season in which the Wolves got demolished in their final game of the season. […]

Rod Carew became the first Twins player to hit for the cycle on May 20, 1970.

Rod Carew ended the 1969 season winning the American League batting title with a .332 average while helping his Minnesota Twins win the inaugural American League West title.
The Twins began the following year in a similar fashion, posting a 24-10 record. And Carew was just as dominant.
Rod Carew bec...
The Atlanta Hawks took a chance on Nickeil Alexander-Walker. It only took him one season to prove the Minnesota Timberwolves never should've let him walk.
Jeffers was off to a great start offensively and defensively, and the impending free agent will be nearly impossible for the Twins to replace.
