Send us a textAfter wrapping up the 2025 season, David, Dan and Hoges look toward the offseason and the moves they would like to see the Minnesota Twins make before spring training. Dan praises the frugality of the Pohlad family, while David and Hoges would very much like to see the owners spend more money. They take a look at which players they think will be in the starting rotation, the bullpen and the lineup. They also discuss the likelihood of an MLB stoppage and the potential of a salary cap in the next collective bargaining agreement.

Send us a textWithin a day of the end of the Minnesota Twins' season, manager Rocco Baldelli was fired and two articles were published about the Pohlad family. Somewhat surprised by both, David, Dan and Hoges recap each development. They are puzzled by the timing of the firing, even if it seems merited. They also offer up one former Twins player as a replacement candidate, though they'd prefer someone with a firmer approach than Baldelli's. And, as they generally agree: The recent stories about the Pohlads only add to the narrative that the family is not in it to win it. All three also offer their predictions for the 2025 postseason, with Dan following his heart, David following his head, and Hoges following something in between.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joined host Michael Rand for a look back on the weekend in sports. The Twins won Sunday after losing three straight to Detroit as we approach the dog days of a lost season. Will there be any shakeups after the year now that we know the Pohlad family is keeping the team? The Vikings' backup QB situation is a mess, which is good for former Gophers QB Max Brosmer. He has a real chance to make the team. Plus the Lynx keep on winning without Napheesa Collier.
