Latest blog entries from Minnesota teams across every league
Spring Training tends to be silly, and that was perhaps best exemplified by Monday afternoon’s game against the Twins. The Braves won 9-8, but gave up a whopping five homers. I guess a 12/0 K/BB ratio is the saving grace when you give up five homers, but considering the Braves didn’t hit any homers, it […]
The Philadelphia Flyers’ biggest splash at the trade deadline wasn’t selling off a bunch of aging veterans for whatever draft picks they could pry from the hands of the top teams around the NHL — bad news for some fans. But, they took the step to clear up space for potential top-end winger prospects in the future and bet big on a former top draft pick figuring it out in their system. By bringing in David Jiricek from the Minnesota Wild, they have possibly solve some of their problems on t...
The Minnesota Wild have noticeably elevated their game against top-tier opponents over the past couple of weeks, and they’ve done it right as the playoff race has tightened around them. Minnesota has gone on a 9-2-2 run over its last 13, a stretch that includes a 5-2 road win in the league-lea...
The first rule of spring training is not to get too excited about spring training stats. That being said, Alan Roden is maybe making the Louis Varland trade look like a better deal, as he has eight hits in 22 at-bats, with one homer and a steal. For sure, a positive after he finished last […]
Moments after landing one of the prizes of free agency in the form of Baltimore center Tyler Linderbaum, the Las Vegas Raiders added to their wide receiver group, signing Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor.

The Vikings’ first reported move done during the legal tampering window is a two-year, $8.5 million deal for former Steelers cornerback James Pierre.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will not be bringing back cornerback James Pierre. After a breakout season in 2025, Pierre is signing a two-year, $8.5 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings, per Cameron Wolfe. Former Steelers secondary coach Gerald Alexander joined the Vikings’ staff this offseason, and now Pierre follows him to the NFC North. The Steelers […]
As the WBC rages on, the Grapefruit League plods along as well. Today, the Braves will give Carlos Carrasco a chance to eat some more exhibition innings as they give their regulars a few hacks in a home game against the Twins.

For Nazem Kadri, stepping back into Ball Arena carried some serious weight — excitement, emotion, and the unmistakable feeling of returning to a place that still feels like home. “Super excited!” Kadri said about coming back to Colorado and making his return against division foe the Minnesota Wild.

Louis Varland is a 28-year-old, right-handed reliever. He was a 15th round draft pick by the Twins, in 2019. Louis has one option year left. He will likely be arbitration eligible after this season (Super 2) and he would be free agent eligible after the 2030 season. He could be a Blue Jay for a […]

In case you missed it — you know, if you’re just waking up from a coma or returning from a remote wilderness excursion — let’s recap the news happenings.

In just about twelve hours, teams around the National Football League will be able to start making contact with free agents, as the ridiculously-named “legal tampering” period will officially be upon us. The Minnesota Vikings are among those teams, and our SB Nation Reacts question for this week wanted you to tell us which position […]
Denver, CO — Nazem Kadri has returned to the Mile High City, and we were in the press box and locker room at Ball Arena to give our massive, loyal, and downright die-hard community a closer look at Avalanche vs. Wild! We were hit with some not-so-good news just as the Colorado Avalanche came out […]
We are just days away from what could be the most consequential offseason since 2022, which saw us hire Kevin O’Connell. The decisions made over the next few weeks could unlock a wide range of possibilities. A 10 to 12-win season, along with at least one playoff victory, would get us back on the right […]
The Colorado Avalanche, boasting the most formidable lineup in the NHL this season, just got a little nastier coming out of the NHL trade deadline. Or, perhaps more fittingly, Naz-tier. Nazem Kadri begins his second stint as a member of the Avs today, who face the newly reconfigured Minnesota Wild in a high stakes matchup […]
The Phillies followed up Friday’s 14 run outburst by getting shut out on Saturday. Chances are, their offensive output on Sunday will fall somewhere in between when they travel to Fort Myers to take on the Minnesota Twins. Alan Rangel will get the ball for the Phillies. The righthander is vying to be considered for […]
The Minnesota Wild navigated the 2026 trade deadline effectively by upgrading their roster depth without paying the massive premium it would have taken to land a true top-six center, preserving key prospects and draft capital for the long term. In a year where center prices were exorbitant, Bill Gue...
A few weeks ago the Minnesota Timberwolves were sitting in the six seed, hovering in that uncomfortable place where you’re good enough to believe something bigger might happen, but close enough to the Play-In line that every loss feels like slipping on black ice. After a strong stretch to finish February and begin March, the […]
The Minnesota Wild’s acquisition of Bobby Brink from the Philadelphia Flyers is more than a feel-good homecoming story.

Hockenson have agreed to a restructure of his contract. While the full details of the new deal have not been released, […]
One of the oddities of spring training is when you get a split squad and two different sets of Orioles are playing at once. That’s what’s happening here on Saturday, with one set of Orioles staying in Sarasota to play some Twins, and another set of Orioles traveling to the Braves spring home to play […]
The “Legal Tampering” period begins on March 9 at 12:00 p.m. ET. We will know soon enough who is the QB they are bringing in for “competition”. For my money, it has to be Kyler Murray or Geno Smith because they will only cost 1.3M. Tua Tagovailoa is a no can do because of his […]
