Twins Assess Buxton's Role Amid Roster Changes
News summary

The Minnesota Twins are facing pivotal decisions regarding Byron Buxton's future as they prepare for the 2025 season, emphasizing the need to evaluate his health and performance. Despite injury concerns, Buxton's significant value, evidenced by a 3.6 WAR in 2024, suggests he could be vital for the team's success, although some analysts advocate for potential trade discussions to enhance roster flexibility. The Twins' recent trades with the Yankees and Dodgers have had mixed results, with the release of Josh Donaldson from the Yankees and the acquisition of Carlos Correa by the Twins highlighting the complexities of team strategies. Additionally, the Twins are grappling with a $30 million reduction in payroll, which has cast doubt on their offseason plans despite being listed as potential fits for several top free agent pitchers. The team's ownership has faced criticism for financial constraints, but a possible sale could lead to increased investment. As the offseason approaches, the Twins' performance and roster adjustments will be closely scrutinized.
