This is huuuuge. Sano was easily the top Latin American talent available this year. He received a 3.15 million signing bonus. The 16 year old shortstop probably will move to third base in the future as he is a big kid who still has some filling out to do.
With the signing of Sano, Max Kepler, [...]

The Twins swept the Sox tonight, despite a so so effort from Brian Duensing. He went 5.2 innings and gave up 3 runs, including a 2 run HR. Bobby Keppel also gave up a 2 run HR, but the rest of the bullpen did its job to close out the win. Nathan made it interesting, [...]

In 1871, a great fire swept through Chicago, burning around four square miles. If Chicago re-enacts that fire, by all means go ahead, as long as you make sure you catch US Cellular Field.
The Twins are up 2 games to none in the series vs. the White Sox, and they go for the sweep tomorrow [...]
