The Twins are 6-4 but played without some key offensive contributors Monday due to injury. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON. The Twins played without regulars Carlos Correa, Byron Buxton, Max Kepler, Alex Kirilloff and Jorge Polanco Monday and managed just 4 hits and 3 runs.

The Twins are off to a 4-0 start after posting an 11-1 win at Miami against the Marlins Monday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON. He says the Twins worked on correcting some of the flaws in Joey Gallo's swing in spring training and that could be a reason why he has hit a hot streak.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson requested a trade this month because they appear far apart on working on a long term contract that Jackson is comfortable with. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON.

The Vikings lost linebacker Eric Kendricks, Dalvin Tomlinson, Cam Danzler and Patrick Peterson so far in free agency. They added defensive end Marcus Davenport and backup tight end Josh Oliver.

The Vikings have some roster decisions to make this offseason after their season ended Sunday with a 31-24 loss to the New York Giants Sunday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON. He says the list of players who will either be gone from the roster or will take less money includes the following:

Heading into the season many Viking fans had mixed feelings about Kirk Cousins as the team's quarterback. Cousins' overall numbers aren't much different than years past but the 12 wins and 7 come from behind victories this season may have changed some minds.

The Vikings have played a bit short handed lately but could be getting to help this Sunday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON. He says the Vikings could get both cornerback Cam Dantzler (ankle) and left tackle Christian Darrisaw (concussion) back from injury this week.

The Vikings improved to 8-1 Sunday with an entertaining come from behind 33-30 overtime win at Buffalo against the Bills. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON.

The Vikings snuck out a 28-25 win in London against the New Orleans Saints Sunday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON. He explains that the offensive production is pacing behind last year's numbers despite the change in coaching staffs.

Souhan says based on conversations he's had with people who have covered Cousins both in Minnesota and in Washington Cousins doesn't have the calmness and confidence that many of the great quarterbacks have had over the years.
