2020 – WCCO to air Minnesota Twins games through 2023. The Twins are staying right where they are on the airwaves. WCCO radio will continue broadcasting Twins baseball as the team’s flagship station through the year 2023 after the two sides extended the team’s current contract with parent company Entercom. “The Twins are where they should be,” Twins president Dave St. Peter told Dave Lee on the WCCO Morning News. We’re excited to announce that 102.9 The Wolf will simulcast the 830 WCCO radio broadcast of our games. We will now have games broadcasted on AM & FM signals in the Twin Cities metro area! The Twins join the Arizona Diamondbacks, Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Indians as the only four major league baseball clubs to have both an AM and FM presence in their designated market area. At a combined 150,000 watts, the Twins now have the most expansive flagship radio coverage of any team in the big leagues.

2014 – Baseball’s new expanded replay rules were put to use for the first time in Grapefruit League play between the Twins and Blue Jays on Monday at Hammond Stadium. Two different calls were challenged and upheld by umpires, with the first one coming in the sixth inning. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons challenged the call on the field after Twins outfielder Chris Rahl was ruled safe at first with first-base umpire Fieldin Culbreth ruling that first baseman Jared Goedert came off the bag to field the throw. After a review that lasted two minutes and 34 seconds, it was ruled the initial call was correct and the play was upheld. A second review came in the eighth inning, when it was ruled by umpire Will Little that Doug Bernier was safe on a grounder hit to shortstop Kevin Nolan. After a review that lasted two minutes and three seconds, the play was upheld. Gibbons was technically out of challenges — managers get one per game and get one more if they win their first challenge — but he was still able to ask the umpires about the play, as once the seventh inning starts, the crew chief can call for a review. By the way, the Twins beat the Blue Jays 12-2.
