Twins Promote Top-15 MLB Prospect OF Walker Jenkins To Make Debut vs. White Sox
The 2025 trade deadline marked the start of a new era for the Minnesota Twins as they shifted toward a youth movement. The veterans are gone, the young core is in place and the growing pains are showing up in the American League Central standings. Sitting 6.5 games behind the first-place Chicago White Sox, the Twins signaled they were fully leaning into the future. Following the recent promotion of top infielder Kaelon Culpepper, the Twins officially called up their top organizational prospect, outfielder Walker Jenkins. Selected No. 5 overall in the 2023 MLB Draft out of South Brunswick High School (NC), Jenkins entered the professional ranks as one of the premier prep hit tools in his draft class. He holds the top spot in the Twins' farm system and ranks No. 15 on MLB Pipeline's Top 100. Jenkins will join a long list of top Twins draft picks to make the major league roster. With his debut set for Friday night, he joins outfielder Byron Buxton (selected second overall in 2012) and infielder Royce Lewis (selected first overall in 2017). The 6-foot-3 outfielder has been nothing short of productive in the minor leagues. Across 265 games and 997 at-bats, Jenkins has posted a .303 career batting average to go along with 33 home runs, 145 RBIs, 57 stolen bases, and 187 strikeouts. The Twins have built quite the young core and four of their top-10 prospects could make their debuts within the next two seasons. Alongside Jenkins and Culpepper, the group features 2026 No. 3 overall pick Vahn Lackey and 2025 first-round infielder Marek Houston. With a youth movement underway, all eyes are on how the long-term vision unfolds for a Twins team chasing both the White Sox and Cleveland Guardians in an unpredictable AL Central. mchezo.life
Sergio de Larrea: “Mi juego es alegre pero serio”
Sergio de Larrea (Valladolid, 20 años) sigue siendo Larry por mucho que le haya cambiado la vida en la última temporada. Campeón de Liga con el gran Valencia dirigido por Pedro Martínez, el base de 1,98m ha dado el salto a la NBA con su fichaje por los Dallas Mavericks. Antes del reto americano, Larry toma las riendas de España en el duelo de este viernes (21.00, Teledeporte) ante Portugal en Zaragoza, clasificatorio para el Mundial de 2027. Como sucede con otros compañeros de generación, el presente se ha adelantado al futuro.
Tony Romo addresses his OWI arrest, through a spokesperson
In more than a month since former Cowboys quarterback and CBS broadcaster Tony Romo was arrested for suspicion of operating while intoxicated, Romo has said nothing.
He has finally spoken, albeit through a spokesperson.
Via TMZ, the spokesperson has said this: "Tony accepts full responsibility for his actions and has taken proactive steps to ensure that this isolated civil matter is properly resolved."
While it may be technically accurate under Wisconsin OWI laws to call a first offense a "civil matter," it didn't feel like one, look like one, or sound like one. He was pulled over. He was put through a field sobriety test. He was handcuffed, his mugshot was taken, he was booked.
More importantly for his employment status, he was placed on leave by CBS eight days later.
"We are working with local authorities to bring this matter to a close and we are communicating with CBS about next steps," the spokesperson said.
So what would the next steps be? An abrupt return to the No. 1 CBS booth during the 2026 season? By all appearances, CBS has reconfigured its lineup not for a brief Romo absence but for a full season without him. A sudden return as of, say, Week 5 would be confusing. It would be awkward. It could create a distraction for CBS and a disruption to its apparent plans.
The best play would be for Romo to take full responsibility not through a spokesperson but directly, in a press conference or an on-camera interview. And he should plead guilty to the various "civil" charges, pay his fine, and move on.
Whether that's enough to keep CBS from moving on remains to be seen.
