5:00: The Vikings kicking competition has flown under the radar with other big stories taking a lot of the spotlight. But the battle between two relative unknowns is fascinating. Rand explores that with the help of Mark Craig's recent story.
12:00: The Twins have pivoted to a season of prospects instead of contention. Which of the young pitchers could we see this year — and who has the best chance to help?
18:00: Some pretty disappointing Twins TV rating numbers came out recently. Rand wants to dive into them in more detail, but he tries to provide some early context about what he is seeing.
21:00: Some good news? Minnesota United is on a roll.
