Twins News
Byron Buxton is making it clear that he’s not going anywhere, emphatically shutting down trade rumors as the deadline approaches. This is a relief for Twins fans who have watched their star hitter bat .275, providing much-needed firepower as the team shows signs of life with a recent 5-2 record. The Twins are riding high after sweeping the Texas Rangers, with the offense averaging an impressive 6.0 runs per game this past week, while the bullpen managed to hold strong despite some shaky moments. Meanwhile, Orlando Arcia’s acceptance of an outright assignment to Triple-A St. Paul suggests the team is looking to keep options open while giving some struggling players a much-needed reset. As the season unfolds, the Twins are slowly building momentum, and with Mick Abel expected back, there’s reason for optimism in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
