Twins News
Byron Buxton is staying put, as General Manager Jeremy Zoll confirmed that the Twins have no plans to trade their star center fielder despite lingering rumors. This news comes on the heels of the team’s solid week, winning 5 of their last 7 games and boasting a remarkable +23 run differential during that span. However, the Twins need to keep the momentum rolling after a narrow 1-2 loss to the Dodgers yesterday. Joe Ryan's illness has pushed his start back a day, meaning he’ll have a chance to duel with Shohei Ohtani later this week. With the trade deadline looming and the front office considering its options, the Twins face a challenging choice: keep pushing for contention or pivot into rebuilding mode. The upcoming games against the Dodgers will be critical in deciding their fate.
