MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Court of Appeals has revived the case of a professional basketball player seeking money from former Minnesota Twins pitcher Carlos Silva. The lawsuit alleges the team failed to pay Rodgers’ full salary for the next three years and that Silva, who once owned the team, agreed to personally pay him. Court documents filed by Silva’s lawyers say he sold his interest in the team in 2013 and was not party to the salary agreement. But the appellate ruled Monday that the court should have first ruled on Silva’s request to compel arbitration. At the time of the lawsuit, Minnesota Public Radio News reported that Rodgers claimed he was owed $680,000.
