Twins state they have no plans to trade Byron Buxton

The Minnesota Twins announced that they have no intention of trading outfielder Byron Buxton, as stated by general manager Jeremy Zoll on June 25, 2026. This decision may complicate trade plans for the Philadelphia Phillies, who have been looking to strengthen their outfield. The Phillies see Buxton as a potential target, but the Twins' stance suggests they will need to be creative in their search for a center fielder. Despite no trade discussions, there remains speculation that Buxton's status could change if he expresses a desire for a move.
