EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. . -- The Minnesota Vikings have plenty of space under the salary cap to use for signing free agents this year. That doesnt mean theyll use it all. The Vikings are in full rebuilding mode, and the 10 picks they have in next months draft -- including the third overall selection -- are the top priority for improving a team that finished a franchise-worst 3-13 last season. So when the market opens Tuesday afternoon, signalling the start of the 2012 league year, the Vikings arent going to be aggressively pursuing high-priced veteran players as they have in the recent past. But they will be participants, because they have a lot of holes to fill on the roster. With roughly $23 million of room under the NFLs cap figure of slightly more than $120 million, they have flexibility, too. "Whether we make a big splash or not, if theres someone out there we think can help us were willing to spend a lot of money on well definitely look at those options," general manager Rick Spielman said recently. Spielman, though, has already counted contract extensions given to running back Adrian Peterson, linebacker Chad Greenway, centre John Sullivan and long snapper Cullen Loeffler as money spent on unrestricted free agency. All four of them wouldve been eligible this year. "We feel very strongly about keeping our core players or our key players here," Spielman said. The Vikings crossed another one of their own free agents off the list Monday by agreeing in principle to a two-year contract with quarterback Sage Rosenfels, who will enter his 12th season in the league as a backup to Christian Ponder and Joe Webb. Rick Smith, the agent for Rosenfels, confirmed the deal was in place. It was first reported by FoxSports.com. Rosenfels was acquired by the Vikings in 2009 from the Texans for a fourth-round draft pick, but he never saw the field behind Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson and was traded to the Giants the following year. Rosenfels joined the Dolphins last season and was waived in November before the Vikings claimed him. "There was mutual interest," Smith said in a brief phone interview. "Hes seen a number of different places in his career, so he wanted to stay put. Hes comfortable there." Rosenfels, who grew up in Iowa and played in college at Iowa State, has been with five NFL teams. The Vikings have 15 other unrestricted free agents, but tight end Jim Kleinsasser has retired and only four of them were starters last year -- linebacker E.J. Henderson, linebacker Erin Henderson, safety Husain Abdullah and tight end Visanthe Shiancoe. Abdullah could be back, but he finished last season with a concussion. Erin Henderson showed some potential during his first year as a regular, making him the strongest candidate to return. But there will be plenty of turnover on the roster, given the need to get younger. The players the Vikings do pursue in free agency are likely to be fresh off their first NFL contract rather than pushing -- or over -- the age of 30. Wide receivers and cornerbacks are the most glaring needs, and itll take both free agency and the draft to start the shoring-up process there. Cornerback Brandon Carr of the Kansas City Chiefs and wide receiver Robert Meachem of the New Orleans Saints are two possible fits. And Spielman will be running the show for the first time, having ascended to GM two months ago after sharing authority over the roster with the head coach. "I know that a lot of things are going to happen thats going to be on my watch, so Im very excited to see some of the moves were going to make and how they pan out," he said.

David Phelps, starting in place of injured ace CC Sabathia, picked off two runners and pitched a career-high five innings for the win. In the opener of a four-game series between the teams with the ALs best records, the Yankees powered their way to a sixth straight victory over Texas in the Bronx. Swishers second slam this season was his 200th career homer. Eric Chavez also homered off Dempster (1-1), the Rangers recent acquisition. Dempster matched a season high by allowing eight runs. The other time he allowed eight was in his first start for Texas on Aug. 2. In three starts since coming from the Chicago Cubs in a trade-deadline deal, Dempster has allowed 19 runs -- 16 earned -- in 17 1-3 innings. Ichiro Suzuki tripled and Derek Jeter followed with a long RBI double in the seventh to end Dempsters third start for Texas. Swisher added an RBI single in the seventh as New York won for the fifth time in six games. Phelps (3-3) was being held to a 75-80 pitch limit while making a spot start for Sabathia, who has a sore elbow. Phelps needed 26 pitches in the first without being hit hard. But thanks in part to a nifty pickoff move, he fulfilled his managers wish to make it through five innings. Phelps turned over a 5-2 lead to Lowe in the sixth. Designated for assignment by Cleveland on Aug. 2 and released Friday, Lowe signed with New York earlier Monday and made his first appearance since July 31. Lowe earned his first regular-season save since 2001 while with Boston, shutting down Texas on two hits. He walked none and struck out four. Lowe went 8-10 with a 5.52 ERA for the Indians this season, and he had an 8.80 ERA in his final 12 starts for Cleveland. The 39-year-old right-hander, a longtime rival of the Yankees while he pitched for the Red Sox, received little notice from the fans when his name was called to start the sixth. After retiring three straight in the seventh, the crowd gave him a loud ovation. The high-powered Rangers had ample opportunities to break open the game early against PPhelps, making his fourth start and first since July 4. Cheap Jerseys. They scored a run in the first on a broken-bat single by Nelson Cruz and added another when David Murphy led off the second with a homer. Phelps hit Ian Kinsler with a pitch with two outs in the second. He then picked him off first base to end the inning with Elvis Andrus at bat. Andrus opened the third with a single and advanced to second on Adrian Beltres infield single with one out. But Phelps picked off Andrus at second for out No. 2. Phelps allowed two runs and six hits. He struck out three and walked one. Making his first start in the Bronx since 2000, Dempster retired his first six hitters then it fell apart in the third, when seven of the first eight batters reached. Russell Martin led off with an opposite-field single to right and Raul Ibanez followed with a hit that fell just in front of Cruz, the right fielder. Suzuki, batting ninth for the first time in his career, sacrificed. Jeter fell behind 1-2 before walking to load the bases. Swisher lined a shot into the second deck in right for the sixth slam of his career and a 4-2 lead. Swisher had not homered since July 19 -- a drought of 61 at-bats -- a day before he injured his hip flexor and missed six games. New York loaded bases again without making an out, then Curtis Granderson got a rise from the fans by hitting a long drive to centre field that was caught just in front of the warning track for a sacrifice fly. Dempster still has not beaten New York. He is 0-4 in five starts against the Yankees. NOTES: The Yankees have hit a major league-leading nine grand slams. ... A moment of silence was held for Red Sox player, manager and broadcaster Johnny Pesky, who died Monday at 92. ... Yankees closer Mariano Rivera (torn knee ligament) played catch on flat ground.
