In a bit of poetic justice, Josh Giddey will seek his vengeance against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night. The Chicago Bulls point guard, who suffered a hamstring strain midway through an ill-fated 136-101 loss to Minnesota last month and had been gone ever since, will be playing on a minutes restriction.
Minnesota, meanwhile, is highly motivated to end a three-game losing skid as its front office and coaches get a chance to scout some of their preferred Bulls trade prospects i...
Nearly a month after he was forced to depart the Chicago Bulls’ doomed Dec. 29 tilt against the then-mighty (now-mortal) Minnesota Timberwolves, point guard Josh Giddey is making his long-awaited return to the lineup for a rematch on Thursday night.
Per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network , the 23-year-old will be playing on a 24-minute restriction. It’s unclear if he will start.
The 6-foot-7 Aussie has sat out Chicago’s last 11 contests due to a hamstring strain, during which the...
There was a point during my Wednesday night where the last three notifications on my phone were news that Eric Bieniemy was leaving the Bears for the Chiefs, Al Harris interviewed with the Packers for their defensive coordinator position, and Brian Flores was set to return to the Vikings. What a trifecta of yuck.
Brian Flores returns to the Vikings
Much to the chagrin of every rival NFC North quarterback, the Minnesota Vikings are bringing back Brian Flores. The Vikings announced Flo...
The Minnesota Wild must improve their center depth at the trade deadline. Vincent Trocheck is one of general manager Bill Guerin‘s options. Still, he’s over 30, and many fans are tired of adding older players. That concern makes sense.
Could the St. Louis Blues trade Robert Thomas to the Wild?...
Brian Flores is signed! I do not know if he will eventually get a head coach offer but at least he wont go and be a defensive coordinator for another team. At the very least, the Vikings will get two 3rd round picks if he gets hired away as a head coach. I do not […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach search continues as a handful of names seem to pull away from the pack. The Steelers have had in-person interviews with Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, and former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator […]
Almost exactly four years after trading him to the Padres, the Twins agreed to a one year contract with left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. The pact will pay Rogers $2M in 2026. Rogers has been bouncing around National League contenders since leaving the Twin Cities. He split 2022 between […]
a look at what Minnesota can offer
Taylor Rogers was one of the Cubs’ deadline acquisitions last year, and, although he’s long been an effective reliever, his role always felt pretty marginal with the Cubs. Candidly, as you can see up there, I never even had a good opportunity to retrieve a Rogers-in-Cubs-uniform image during his 17-appearance tenure with the team. Kinda telling.
That isn’t to say the trade, which sent outfield prospect Ivan Brethowr to the Pirates, was a dud for the Cubs. It was a fine move on paper, it w...

Before making the signing of Ranger Suarez official earlier Wednesday morning, the Red Sox made a trade with the Twins to create a 40-man roster spot for the All-Star left-hander. In exchange for infielder Tristan Gray, who came over from the Rays for reliever Luis Guerrero in November, Boston acquired minor league catcher/first baseman Nate … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox acquire from Twins for Tristan Gray?"

Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores signed a contract extension with Minnesota, the team announced Wednesday. However, NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported that the coach remains a candidate in the Steelers and Ravens’ head coaching searches. Flores’ previous contract had expired with the Vikings, and his new one is contingent on him not accepting a head […]
Al Harris, next man up? The Washington Commanders are interviewing Bears secondary coach Al Harris, who had the same role under Dan Quinn when they were with the Dallas Cowboys two years ago. Dallas blocked Quinn’s attempt to add Harris to his coaching staff in Washington. If Harris is hired, he would replace Joe Whitt […]

Numerous sources, led by Adam Schefter of ESPN, are reporting that defensive coordinator Brian Flores has signed a contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings to remain the team’s defensive coordinator. That means that, at the very least, he will not […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves need to make a move. At 27-17, the Timberwolves currently occupy the No. 7 seed in the crowded Western Conference. But things can change quickly; the Timberwolves are just three games behind the No. 2-seeded San Antonio Spurs.
Every marginal advantage counts. Where San Antonio is loaded with young, big guards who can handle and defend, Minnesota is seeking to address that deficit on its own roster. Rob Dillingham, the eighth overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, h...
