It was a pitcher’s duel all day in the Twin Cities. The offense’s got going late, but it was the Royals getting the last laugh, beating the Twins 3-2 after a 2-run top of the 9th inning. Carter Jensen hit a leadoff homer to the right field seats off Joe Ryan. The first career leadoff […]
When a team is 13 games below .500 and sits six games out of a Wild Card slot in early June, fans generally start to suppress October fantasies and instead focus on player development. Jac Caglianone was tapped to be a core member of the Kansas City Royals for the years to come, and amid […]

Justin Jefferson has a shot to make some history in several categories in 2026, both for the Minnesota Vikings and the NFL as a whole.
Shortly after the 2026 NFL Draft concluded, the Minnesota Vikings made a move that many thought they would make when they picked up the fifth-year option on the rookie contract of wide receiver Jordan Addison. The move was thought to potentially be the starting point of a long-term contract extension for Addison, a move that […]
Well, we have ourselves another QB debate! The sides are lining up and slinging arrows already (yours truly included). Gotta love it no? I do not know what is going to happen but we have now reached the stage of bloggers, media types, and doofuses (of doofi – also raises hand) are speculating on trading […]
The Minnesota Twins recalled Royce Lewis from Triple-A St. Paul, and James Outman paid the price.
Outman was designated for assignment to open the 40-man roster spot for Lewis, ending a tenure in Minnesota that produced almost nothing offensively.
The Numbers That Made This Inevitable
Outman appeared in 49 games as a Twins backup outfielder this season, making only 17 starts with 70 plate appearances and slashing .156/.229/.250 across that sample.
He struck out at a rate that made prod...
On Saturday, the Minnesota Twins reinstated infielder Royce Lewis from Triple-A St. Paul and designated outfielder James Outman for assignment. Lewis returns to the major league roster after a short stint in the minors following a difficult start to the 2026 season. Before being optioned on May 19, the former No. 1 overall pick had […]

The Royals dropped last night’s contest 5-3 to the Twins after a disastrous, 4-run bottom of the 6th inning. It evens the four-game series at a game apiece, with the Royals taking Thursday’s contest 8-6. On the season, the Royals are 3-2 against the Twins. They are 3-5 on the current 10-game road trip. Luinder […]

After Victor Wembanyama praised the defense Karl-Anthony Towns has played on him through the first two games of the NBA Finals, fans are convinced the San Antonio Spurs star's comments were also meant as a dig at his longtime rival Chet Holmgren.
The Minnesota Vikings handed Nolan Teasley the keys to the franchise, though one powerful relationship may ultimately determine his fate.
Karl-Anthony Towns doesn't care about Jalen Brunson's shooting splits while the New York Knicks are two wins away from capturing their first NBA title since the 1972-73 season.
The over-analysis of Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy has been reaching an out-of-control level during the last few weeks.
After an offseason of uncertainty, the Wilf family has made a bold decision by hiring Nolan Teasley as the Minnesota Vikings’ next general manager. It’s almost like the Wilfs heard us all speculating that they wanted to stick to a candidate they knew with ties to the organization, and then decided to tread new ground to prove us all wrong.
Minnesota Vikings will laugh when they find out that Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown believes he's better than Justin Jefferson.
A less-controlled-than-usual Matthews manages to last longer than we (or I) expected, and he’s helped by some Cuddyer/Rosario-style cannon shots from the outfield. Inning-by-inning notes: (Rain Delay): Hey, remember when rain delays might have Kris Atteberry interviewing a baseball book author or something interesting like that? No. It’s a 1991 game. I like hearing Herb […]
Despite a rain delay of over an hour, the game started off so well for the Royals. Bobby Witt Jr. took a one-out walk, Vinnie Pasquantino hit an RBI double, then Jac Caglianone drove him in with his own double. The Royals wouldn’t score again until a weak groundout in the ninth brought home Caglianone […]
For the second game in a row, the Royals won with ninth-inning runs. Tonight, perhaps they can make things a little bit easier on those of us who already suffer from various heart, blood pressure, or anxiety diseases. Michael Wacha will take the mound for KC. His last start, against Texas, didn’t go so great. […]

Karl-Anthony Towns raised his game another level for the NBA Finals. The New York Knicks watched him expose the San Antonio Spurs with pouring 18 points inside in Game 1. KAT’s finals debut prompted a fierce take from Chandler Parsons. Appearing on Run it Back on FanDuel TV, Parsons believes that Towns has shut the […]

One of the key takeaways from OTAs is that Kyler Murray is going to win the Minnesota Vikings quarterback competition, if it really was a competition to begin with. It was also apparent that McCarthy’s view of his situation has changed, with a sense of betrayal coming through in his comments with the media. That […]
Minnesota Vikings safety Theo Jackson could be a trade candidate instead of a Week 1 starter before the 2026 season begins.
June is typically one of the busiest months on the sports calendar in the United States. The NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals are running concurrently. The U.S. Open is a June tradition unlike any other. The WNBA is in full swing. The hotly anticipated drafts for the NBA and NHL are coming up in mere weeks. And the men’s and women’s College World Series are taking place.
Dylan Larkin’s recent trade request should be good news for the Minnesota Wild.
Larkin has to be serious if he’s asking to leave his hometown Detroit Red Wings, which took him in the first round of the 2014 draft. Insiders have also listed Minnesota as a viable destination. That feels like a u...
