Exactly 17 years ago today Justin Morneau made Twins history when he lifted a trophy over his head after being named the 2008 Home Run Derby champion. He was the first and last player to don a Twins uniform while winning.

Buxton, finally healthy last winter, coached his son's 11U team and rediscovered his love for baseball. Now he's an All-Star again.

Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton is headed to his second MLB All-Star Game this week, and Monday night, he'll be in the Home Run Derby.

The Minnesota Twins have been keen on drafting shortstops with their top picks in recent years, and Marek Houston might actually stick at the position.

The Twins select the RHP ranked 136th on MLB Pipeline. With the 149th pick in the draft, the Twins selected their fifth pitcher in seven picks, keeping up with a pitcher-heavy draft. They selected Matt Barr, a JUCO product from Niagara County Community College. Barr was the highest-ranked JUCO prospect in MLB's draft rankings.
