The two teams haven\u2019t confirmed the special event or the specific date of the game, which will almost certainly be nationally televised. <\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">News of the \u201cField of Dreams\u201d game, which is still subject to additional planning, was first reported by the Athletic and the Des Moines Register.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">There hasn\u2019t been a game at the site, where the 1989 Kevin Costner movie was filmed, since 2022. The site, which featured a temporary 7,800-seat stadium surrounded by cornfields, was sold to new ownership and underwent major renovations to become a youth baseball and softball complex. <\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">The Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees played the initial \u201cField of Dreams\u201d game in 2021, the first MLB game in Iowa, which memorably ended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/tim-anderson-hits-walk-off-home-run-at-field-of-dreams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/tim-anderson-hits-walk-off-home-run-at-field-of-dreams\">with a walk-off homer<\/a> by Chicago\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/anderti01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/anderti01.shtml\">Tim Anderson<\/a>. The Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds there the following year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">The last time the Twins participated in one of MLB\u2019s special events was 2018, when they split a two-game series against Cleveland in San Juan, Puerto Rico. <\/p>\n<p>Etc. <\/p>\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">\u2022 The Twins designated reliever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/new-look-twins-pitching-staff-pieces-it-together-for-one-run-victory-over-guardians\/601448886\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/new-look-twins-pitching-staff-pieces-it-together-for-one-run-victory-over-guardians\/601448886\">Erasmo Ram\u00edrez<\/a> for assignment to make room for Sunday\u2019s starter, Taj Bradley, on their active 26-man roster.
