Reusse: Shaver was 'Voice of the North Stars' and an all-time great guy
Al Shaver, who had a premier standing among Minnesota sports radio voices, died Monday at 96. He made many friends and called it like he saw it.
Wolves
Reusse: There's no doubt Finch is the right coach for the Wolves
Chris Finch is a finalist for NBA Coach of the Year, but he brings more to the table than just victories, including lessons learned in faraway places.
Twins
Reusse: How bad are the White Sox? They made Twins look good.
The offense is still mired in a terrible start, but Twins' hitters and pitcher Chris Paddack looked rejuvenated on Monday. The White Sox looked like, well, the White Sox.
Vikings
Reusse's Tortured Columnist Department update: Yes, Vikings won the offseason
The Vikings have made nearly two full albums-worth of smart moves, including letting Cousins go and bringing in Aaron Jones. Will this unusual trend continue in the draft?
Wolves
Reusse: Wolves need stopper for Booker? NAW, it's not a problem.
The best way to stop Phoenix scoring threat Devin Booker may be on the Timberwolves bench, which means there could be extra minutes for Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
