MINNEAPOLIS — Indians newcomers Roberto Perez and Jose Ramirez had their fingerprints all over yesterday’s series finale against the Minnesota Twins.

Xavier Rhodes' development might be the key to success.

The Indians are 5-5 against the Twins this season.

With Class A center fielder Byron Buxton now at five games missed (and counting) with a sore right wrist, the Twins got another dose of bad news about one of their top pitching prospects.

Getting a combined 12 players, including nine first rounders drafted the last two years was far from the norm for the Big Ten. But there's no reason to think the league's talent level will drop off that much any time soon. All-Americans Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller, Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. went pro early in 2013. But the Big Ten was even deeper with NBA prospects the following year. Five players from the conference were drafted in the first round for the first time since 1990 (Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Mitch McGary, Indiana's Noah Vonleh, Michigan State's Gary Harris and Adreian......

With Class A center fielder Byron Buxton now at five games missed (and counting) with a sore right wrist, the Twins got another dose of bad news about one of their top pitching prospects. Right-hander Kohl Stewart was scratched from his scheduled start on Wednesday night for Class A Cedar Rapids due to "a little shoulder soreness," according to Brad Steil, Twins director of minor league operations.

The new coach of the Vikings received some tips from his mentor before the start of camp.

New Vikings coach Mike Zimmer is ready to take on the challenges of his first training camp.

About a month before local officials made their winning pitch to the NFL to land Super Bowl 2018, metro mayors got an unusual-looking request.

Little did some guys know when watching "Hard Knocks" in recent years they were seeing a preview of their 2014 training camp.

Longtime Twins reliever Matt Guerrier has been designated for release or assignment, manager Ron Gardenhire said after Wednesday's 3-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians at Target Field.

A Football Outsiders post on ESPN.com caught our attention this afternoon. Using a number of criteria, they attempted to rank the NFL teams from 1-32 when it comes to the best accumulation of talented players less than 25 years old. Now, having that many good, young players doesn’t necessarily translate to success, but Seattle was No. 1 on the list last year and won the Super Bowl; crazily enough, the Seahawks sunk to the bottom of the list this year because many of those top young players are a year older and no longer qualify. That is an indicator of just how arbitrary the 25-year-old...
