Chronic wasting disease, or CWD, has afflicted free-ranging deer, elk and/or moose in 24 states and two Canadian provinces as of January, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
"We are in an unknown territory situation," Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, told USA TODAY on Friday.
Last week, Osterholm testified before his state lawmakers warning about possible human impacts.
"It is probable that human cases of chronic wasting disease associated with consumption with contaminated meat will be documented in the years ahead," he said. "It’s possible the number of human cases will be substantial, and will not be isolated events."
...
Estimates show that 7,000 to 15,000 animals infected with CWD are eaten each year and that number could rise by 20 percent annually, according to the the Alliance for Public Wildlife, which Osterholm cited in his testimony.

Max Kepler didn't bet on himself.
The Twins have apparently decided that Fernando Romero's future is in the bullpen.
There's been a lot of mentions this offseason of that being a possibility. They just made it official today.
Yes, there have, but the Twins had never said what they were going to do. I'd say this is more "made their decision" than "made it official".
I think they were waiting to talk directly with Romero before announcing it to the media.
No need to spend money on FA relief pitching when you can make a starter a reliever!

To his credit, Romero seems to be fine with the decision.
I'm not a hunter, but I'm more than willing to eat venison. So this makes me increasingly nervous.
This is nuts.
They also beat Northwestern last weekend on a buzzer beater (by a different player) after being down 15 with 4:30 to go.
