Twins unlikely to trade Byron Buxton as teams inquire

Summary

The Minnesota Twins appear set to retain Byron Buxton despite trade interest from the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves. Buxton stated that teams are wasting their time making inquiries about his availability, citing a no-trade clause and his commitment to Minnesota. The Twins may still consider trading other assets while competing for a Wild Card spot in the American League. However, Buxton's position limits the likelihood of a significant deal this trade deadline.
