The Minnesota Twins could make some trades this winter to improve their long-term future. Or they could sit tight. What do you think they'll do?

Ben Quam joins this episode of Sports Over Beers from 612 Brew, where Chris Reuvers and Derek Wetmore are kicking around hot stove ideas. Would you trade Brian Dozier? Ervin Santana? Wetmore gives 3 ways to fix Twins pitching. And there's a story behind why Max Kapler looks like a young Monnlight Graham in his Target Field scoreboard photo.

Sports Over Beers is a podcast by the crew at 1500 ESPN Twin Cities. We get together to drink a few beers, bring along the recording equipment and let the conversation fly. On our good days, we get to Minnesota sports conversation, but we don't always promise that. We do promise to try to keep it interesting. The beer helps with that.

Recording from Buffalo Wild Wings on the campus of the University of Minnesota, and powered by Pabst Blue Ribbon, it's a bad day for the Gophers. Minnesota got bounced from the NCAA tournament, and we're here to talk about it. Matthew Coller, Derek Wetmore and Ryan Potocnik discuss what went wrong for Richard Pitino, Reggie Lynch, Nate Mason and the Gophers. Also, how does it change how we view the year? And do you care that Adrian Peterson is leaving? Vikings fans don't seem to care very much...

What's the allure of moving a sports franchise to Las Vegas? And why is it more prominent now the Los Angeles got a team? We talk about that and much more with Lommen Abdo's Jeff O'Brien on this week's Sports Over Beers podcast. Jeff has a podcast -- Case In Point -- that discusses the areas where sports and law intersect. 

Derek Wetmore and Matthew Coller asked about Ed O'Bannon's impact, the concussion era in pro sports, and Las Vegas as a possible landing spot for an NFL team.
