St. Paul, Minn. – Travis Adams has been a starting pitcher throughout college and in the minors. However, his role has changed this year. In November, the Minnesota Twins added him to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. With a plethora of pitching talent ahead of him in Triple-A St. Paul’s starting rotation, it looked like Adams would be moving into the bullpen full-time, and that’s been the case so far in 2025. “It’s not too bad,” Adams said about coming out of the bullpen.

David Festa had an encouraging rookie season. He gave up 12 earned runs in his first two outings but settled in afterward. Festa yielded 23 earned runs in 54⅓ innings in his next 12 starts (3.15 ERA), living up to the hype as the Minnesota Twins’ No. 5 prospect last year. However, Festa started this season in Triple-A after giving up 15 runs in four spring training starts. He dominated in his first start with the St. Paul Saints but gave up ten hits and five earned runs in his second start.

Sunday was the type of afternoon that Target Field was built for. The Minnesota Twins were playing their second weekend series of the season. The sky was blue, and they honored Minnesota’s native son and resident Hall of Famer, Joe Mauer, with a statue just beyond Gate 34. With the Twins ahead on the scoreboard, it felt like nothing could go wrong. That is until a car caught on fire on the roof of Ramp B.

The Minnesota Vikings have gotten themselves into an enviable position headed into the 2025 draft. Instead of looking for starters who can contribute from Day 1, they are looking for players who can fill depth roles and contribute. While they have some obvious needs – competition at the left guard, corner, and safety  – WR3 has become overlooked. Jalen Nailor filled in well when the Vikings asked him to step up in Jordan Addison‘s absence last season.
