MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins have cut longtime third baseman Trevor Plouffe, the first significant move by new front office leaders Derek Falvey and Thad Levine.Plouffe cleared waivers and has elected to become a free agent.The 30-year-old was a first-round draft pick of the Twins back in 2004. After struggling to earn a spot as a shortstop, he turned himself into a reliable third baseman with solid power.Plouffe hit .247 with 96 home runs and 357 RBI in seven seasons with the Twins. The move appears to open a spot at third base for young slugger Miguel Sano, who bounced around between designated hitter, third base and the outfield last year.Third base has always been Sanos preferred position.Plouffe was limited to 84 games last season because of injuries. He batted .260 with 12 homers and 47 RBI.The Twins also outrighted catcher Juan Centeno off the 40-man roster Friday.The team says outfielder Adam Brett Walker has been claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers.Cody Barton Womens Jersey .

Instead, QB?Matt Ryans pass fell incomplete, allowing the Seahawks to seal the win. The Falcons were trying to to sustain the drive and set up a potential game-winning field goal attempt.Jones was asked if he thought he was interfered with on the play.I do, he said. Before I took off, [Sherman] grabbed my right side and spun me around before I jumped up. But it was just a missed call. Its over with. Its done. Were on to the next right now.Sherman said he thought the non-call was in line with how the game was being officiated.I mean, I thought there was interference on offense on a few plays, and they didnt get it, Sherman said. So it was just one of those games. They let us play.Asked if he thought he got away with one, Sherman said, No, I feel like we won the ballgame.Jones said he saw no need to plead his case with the officials in case the situation arises again.Thats not my job, Jones said.dddddddddddd If they make the call, they make the call. If they dont, they dont. Thats not me to coach them up on officiating the game. The only thing I can do is go out there and do my job.Ryan, who rallied the Falcons from a 17-3 halftime deficit, was asked what he saw.I havent seen the replay, but our job is to play, Ryan said. Thats all you can focus on. I thought Julio did a hell of a job going up and being aggressive to try and make a play on the ball.Falcons coach Dan Quinn opted not to lash out about the non-call, though he was visibly irate when it occurred.?It wasnt clear whether the Falcons would send the play in to the league for clarity.Well go back and look at it, Quinn said. From the sideline vantage point, we thought it was a 50/50 ball that we certainly had an [opportunity] to go get. It never comes down to one play. I thought we had some opportunities in this game to capitalize on, so Im not going to comment regarding the foul or not on the last play.Information from ESPNs Sheil Kapadia was used in this report.
