Buxton Stays With Twins After Major Roster Overhaul

Following a dramatic trade deadline in which the Minnesota Twins traded away nearly 40% of their roster, including star shortstop Carlos Correa, Byron Buxton has reaffirmed his commitment to the team and his leadership role. Despite being sidelined with a rib injury, Buxton traveled with the team to Cleveland to provide support and stability. He emphasized his intention to remain with the Twins, revealing he holds a no-trade clause and was never asked to waive it, as the front office made clear he was not available for trade. Manager Rocco Baldelli and teammates have highlighted Buxton's importance as a clubhouse leader during this period of upheaval. Buxton's public reassurance brings stability to the team and its fans as they face an uncertain future. The Twins now look to rebuild around Buxton and their remaining All-Star talents.
