Justin Morneau, who has cleared trade waivers, expects to remain with the Minnesota Twins through the Aug. 31 deadline for postseason rosters.

"I think there would have to be some kind of long-term injury to somebody on one of those (contending) teams," Morneau said. "There's not really a whole lot of spots to fill."

Morneau, who has seven home runs in August, said he has heard "nothing" on the possibility of a trade.
