The last-place Twins can’t compete with the first-place Indians on the scoreboard. Literally.

On Thursday night, the scoreboard at Minnesota's Target Field seemingly indicated that Cleveland had acquired outfielder Carlos Beltran from the Yankees. The scoreboard actually was showing a list of trade rumors, but fans -- and scoreboard operators -- in Cleveland certainly took notice.

Prior to Friday night’s win over the A’s, the scoreboard in left field at Progressive Field in Cleveland displayed this message:

It’s worth noting, however, that the Twins are 5-4 against the Indians this season (and 34-59 against everyone else).
