The Chicago Cubs could be in the market for an upgrade at third base. While Matt Shaw could still be the future at the position, he is not going to help them win right now.

It started to look like batting practice for the Cubs with the way they were consistently barreling up the ball.

Ryan Jeffers and Carlos Correa each had an RBI as the Minnesota Twins scored a pair of first-inning runs for the second straight game in a 4-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.

The New York Mets may want to poach an outfielder this year. A trade for Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton could be exactly what New York needs.

On Sunday, the Twins will add the next wave of talent to the organization when the draft begins, making their first selection at No. 16 overall with another pick coming at No. 36 overall, a Competitive Balance Round A selection.

PITCHING PROBABLES: Cubs: Colin Rea (6-3, 4.13 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 60 strikeouts); Twins: Chris Paddack (3-7, 4.64 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 68 strikeouts) BOTTOM LINE: The Chicago Cubs will aim to stop a three-game road skid when they face the Minnesota Twins.

"The Phillies have a specific interest in the American League Central; they began scouting the Minnesota Twins more heavily this week in anticipation of them being sellers, league sources said," Gelb wrote. "Griffin Jax and Jhoan Durán will be prized targets if Minnesota makes them available. They’re expected to listen."
