Minnesota is making a move in the frontcourt, reportedly signing a six-foot-ten forward with ex-Philadelphia Sixers experience. A former SEC Player of the Year, the Timberwolves are betting this guy can carve out a meaningful role as they try to find their footing with the season already underway.
Over in baseball, Tampa Bay wants to keep their ace right where he is. The Rays are reportedly pursuing a contract extension for a starter who posted a two point six seven ERA and earned an All-Star nod, which tells you everything about how valuable he is to that organization's pitching foundation going forward.
And across the pond, Manchester United made a seismic call this week. Mauricio Pochettino came onto the club's radar as they moved away from Michael Carrick, and sources indicate Carrick's camp was given strong signals well before the official announcement dropped. A massive swing for a club desperate to right the ship.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
