Vikings and Wild Do More than Twins at MLB Trade Deadline, and Lynx More Likely to Make Playoffs
We discuss the hapless Twins and their wildly mediocre MLB Trade Deadline, how the Wild and Vikings managed to do more at that deadline, and how the Lynx are more likely to make the playoffs.

Twins’ Front Office Going Down with this Shit
* Minnesota swapped a head case in Jorge Lopez for another mediocre reliever in Dylan Floro
* Floro has already allowed one of one inherited runners to score
* Left handed reliever Caleb Thielbar is healthy, but righty Brock Stewart suffered a setback
* Another bullpen arm would have been nice (but Mike has a theory–b/c he’s trying his absolute best to remain positive)
* Front office hot seat gets hotter (losers need to go)
* (wonder if the Pohlad’s put a kibosh on the “braintrust” and any trades)
* DFA Gallo, Pagan
At Least the Lynx are a Playoff Team
* Won three straight until
* Alyssa Thomas got her fifth triple-double of the season with 1:30 left in the third quarter
* Beat the Liberty, 88-83, without Napheesa Collier on Friday
* Held New York to 36 percent shooting and 28.6 percent from three
* Also held the Sun to 83 points in a win on Sunday…again, without Phee
* Connecticut shot 40 percent from the field and 17.6 percent from three
* The Lynx shot out of their minds (56 percent)
Vikings Training Camp Updates
* Minnesota will pay Danielle Hunter $17 million this year, a considerable raise on the $5.5 million he was due
* Rookie OLB Ivan Pace, Jr. is turning heads, as is rookie CB Mekhi Blackmon, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic
* Brad says Lewis Cine could be a star
* Andrew Booth (CB) injury
Wild to Ride the Gus Bus for Three Years
* Minnesota and Filip Gustavsson avoided arbitration by agreeing to a three-year, $11.25 million deal
And here's to Paul Reubens, better-known as Pee-Wee Herman, who we lost this week to cancer. Pee-Wee's Playhouse played a big part in a lot of the lives of this show's hosts, so knock one back for Paul, and remember, "You Don't Know Jack."
