With spring training camp now open, the Minnesota Twins have added a power bat for their offense

in free agent first baseman Logan Morrison, according to multiple reports.

Morrison, 30, hit 38 home runs last season for the Tampa Bay Rays, but was among the

many players on the market this winter who had trouble finding a job.

Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports the deal will pay Morrison $6.5 million for this season,

but with incentives could be worth $16.5 million over two years.

The Twins already have former AL MVP Joe Mauer at first base, so Morrison would most likely

be used as a designated hitter.

Michelle Obama's 'deeply personal' memoir will arrive in November|tick tock news|latest news| - Duration: 1:33.

Her husband has already published two best-selling memoirs.

Now it's Michelle Obama's turn to share her life story.

The former first lady announced Sunday that she's publishing Becoming Michelle Obama,

a book about "how a girl from the South Side found her voice," on Nov. 13.

Former President Barack Obama penned Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope in

1995 and 2006.

Michelle Obama wrote American Grown, about the White House garden, in 2012.

She tweeted, "Writing BECOMING has been a deeply personal experience (and) I hope my

journey inspires readers to find the courage to become whoever they aspire to be.

I can't wait to share my story."

According to a news release from Penguin Random House, which is publishing Obama's memoir,

Becoming Michelle Obama will use "unerring honesty and lively wit" and cover "both public

and private, telling her full story as she has lived it — in her own words and on her

own terms.

... Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily

defied expectations — and whose story inspires us to do the same."

Her book deal was announced last February.

Feinstein fails to earn endorsement of California Dems|tick tock news|latest news|news - Duration: 1:49.

Sen. Diane Feinstein failed to earn the endorsement of the California Democratic Party at its

convention this weekend, a rebuke to a fixture of the state's politics for decades.

Feinstein, elected to the Senate in 1992, was beaten by challenger State Sen. Kevin

de Leon 54% to 37% in convention balloting results released Sunday, according the California

Democratic Party.

Neither candidate met the threshold of 60% required for the party's endorsement.

The result reflects the progressive tilt of party activists more than a threat to Feinstein

as she seeks a fifth term.

A poll released this month by the non-partisan Public Policy Institute of California showed

Feinstein led de Leon, 46% to 17%.

The poll also found that 52% of likely voters had a favorable opinion of Feinstein.

Meanwhile a majority had never heard of de Leon or didn't know enough about him to have

an opinion.

With no prominent Republicans in the race, according to the poll, 65% of likely Republican

voters remained undecided.

Feinstein, 84, is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

She entered politics in 1969 as a San Francisco County supervisor.

She became San Francisco mayor in 1978 following the assassination of Mayor George Moscone

and supervisor Harvey Milk.
