The Latest Breaking News from Twins

MINNEAPOLIS — The Twins offense couldn't have been much better to start Monday's game.

Gary Sanchez is one of four Minnesota Twins on this week’s list of players who can add value.

A team that sits in first place in its division demoted its hottest hitter and one of its most exciting players Tuesday night after watching him smash a double and a home run and make another defensive highlight play at shortstop.
