The more time I spend around the Timberwolves and Twins, the more I see similarities in their organizations.
Both are known for their analytics departments and affable bosses — the Twins' Derek Falvey and the Wolves' Tim Connelly, and their nice-guy coach/manager in Rocco Baldelli and Chris Finch.
Both franchises are also succeeding of late, in part, because of their Department of Redundancy Departments.
Monday, the Wolves had Jaylen Clark speak with the media to preview their Las Vegas Summer League schedule. Clark was the Wolves' second-round pick in 2023, and was only recently cleared to play after recovering from an Achilles tendon injury.
