Latest blog entries from Minnesota teams across every league
In the battle of Two Struggling Teams with Two Rookie Starters, it seemed like the Sox had the edge with Fenway mystique intimidating Connor Prielipp… until the Twins got to a Red Sox bullpen that had been pretty good so far this year. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: I mentioned that rookie Payton Tolle was a pretty […]
Aaron and John talk about Royce Lewis joining Matt Wallner in St. Paul, the Twins losing Ryan Jeffers for 6-8 weeks, Gabriel Gonzalez's short-term arrival, choosing Orlando Arcia over Kaelen Culpepper, and Taj Bradley getting close.
Time: 6:10 Central Weather: Partly sunny, 59° Opponent’s SB site: Over The Monster TV: Twins TV. Radio: To be a BoSox broadcaster, do you have to have that stereotypical accent? I’m asking, I do not know The Red Sox have not had the start they hoped for, at 22-27. Why? Is God finally sick of […]
These teams honestly could be twins this seasons…almost identical records, not great offenses, stuck in weird places. Still, these Minnesota Twins shouldn’t be taken lightly, as the funniest man on the team takes the mound for the Sox tonight! Welcome to the long weekend for Memorial Day! ⚾️ First Pitch: 7:10pm — Fenway Park, Boston, […]
Free agent centers don't exactly grow on trees in the NHL these days. Especially ones that are the size of trees. 6'6", 230-pound Michael McCarron is a pending UFA, and the Minnesota Wild "badly want to re-sign him." But they might not get the chance, says insider Michael Russo in The Athletic. While the Wild have cap space and badly want to re-sign him, McCarron almost certainly could make more on the open market since it just takes one team to throw a boatload of cash and term his way....
The first matchup of the Red Sox and Twins, in Minnesota, was memorable for two things: Garrett Crochet getting hit so hard he’d eventually land on the IL, and the big breakout (of 2026) for Connelly Early. As they flew home to host the Tigers, the Red Sox stood at a 7-11 record, the opposite […]
Last offseason, the Minnesota Vikings were faced with a conundrum. With their first-round pick quarterback, JJ McCarthy, fully healed, they had to choose between sitting their future and rocking with journeyman Sam Darnold or betting it all on the sophomore’s shoulders. Everyone reading this knows they put all their chips in the McCarthy basket and […]
During the dog days of May, when the biggest story is whether or not the undrafted free agent quarterback from Minnesota State University Moorhead will crack the 53-man roster, all 18 weeks feel like must-see TV for NFL fans. The anticipation of seeing football again after months without it gives the first few regular-season games […]
After an up-and-down start to the 2006 campaign, the Minnesota Twins hoped to settle in and recapture the AL Central crown. Alas, through May and into one fateful June night in the Pacific Northwest, the endeavor looked more bottoming-out than regrouped-contender. Heading into a Twinkie Town After Dark ™ contest with the Seattle Mariners on […]
After an unceremonious end to the 2025-2026 season, it seems as though the Minnesota Timberwolves are heading towards an offseason where every indication is that big changes will be made, with the main focus on the roster. After getting taken out by the two teams battling in the Western Conference Finals this season in the […]
A week ago, it looked like the Minnesota Wild's path to an upgrade at forward went through the net. Jesper Wallstedt's postseason breakout has him entering the summer on a mission to assume the No. 1 goalie role next year. That is, unless Bill Guerin had designs on dangling him for a top-line center...
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...
Our five-part Chicago Bears 2026 schedule roundtable all led up to this final topic as the WCG crew answered this question. What will be the Bears’ 2026 regular season record? Here’s the Bears’ full 2026 schedule. Week 1 – Sept. 13 at Carolina Panthers, noon on FOXWeek 2 – Sept. 20 vs. Minnesota Vikings, noon on FOXWeek […]
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...
