Every Monday at 8:30am StarTribune sports writer Michael Rand stops into the Morning Show to share the latest news in Sports.

Today Michael Rand chatted with The Morning Show's Jill Riley and Steve Seel about:

1) The MLB trade deadline is Thursday, and after a brutally bad home stand, it is clear the Twins will be trading away established played instead of trading for them. It already started late last week with Kendrys Morales, traded to Seattle. Who could be next?

2) Don't look now, but the Lynx are flying high again. OK, it's probably fine to look. They have won seven games in a row and finally have their full staring lineup healthy.

3) It's that time of year again. Vikings training camp is underway in Mankato, meaning games aren't that far behind. What is the latest with the purple?
