33:00: A Leagues Cup win for Minnesota United.

Introduction: The Twins' trade deadline chatter featured a curveball as reports have emerged that Houston is considering trying to trade for shortstop Carlos Correa.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, starting with another disappointing series for the Twins. They're 50-55 after losing two of three to the last-place Nationals, and it's enough to ask where the big plan went off the rails.
