Braves consider Byron Buxton story as trade prospect grows

Byron Buxton's name is circulating in trade rumors as the Atlanta Braves deal with outfield injuries. Buxton, 32, has expressed a desire to stay with the Minnesota Twins, but the Braves could be an appealing destination given his Georgia roots. The Braves are listed among the possible trade fits, but insiders have noted only a 30% chance of a trade occurring. With over a month until the trade deadline, Atlanta might explore the opportunity to add Buxton to their roster, particularly if the Twins aim to restructure for the future.
