Introduction: Host Michael Rand can see some of the logic in the Twins' approach to this offseason — largely stand pat while hoping for improved health with a new head trainer — but he can more easily see the flaws. Even with decent health in 2023, Rand envisions a team that doesn't look to be much better than .500, and he sees a plan that is by default more than anything else. If Derek Falvey and co. aren't correct about their assessment, there almost certainly will be bigger moves ahead.
Twins are running out of people to blame + enjoy the Vikings now
On Tuesday's Daily Delivery podcast, host Michael Rand says the Twins better be right if they are planning minimal changes. Rand and Vikings writer Andrew Krammer also break down Kirk Cousins' performance.

8:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Andrew Krammer joins Rand for a film review of Kirk Cousins' play during the Vikings' 29-22 win over the Bears. Cousins has been clutch so far this season, leading three fourth-quarter comebacks and three game-winning drives in their 4-1 start. And some of his success has come from gaining more freedom to make decisions.
22:00: The takeaway from Vikings poetry — enjoy the winning while it's happening.
35:00: Another NFL game, another questionable roughing the passer penalty.
