9/08/25	Twins stars Byron Buxton and Joe Ryan air their grievances. All-Star slugger Byron Buxton sounded like someone who wouldn't happily accept another lengthy roster rebuild — if that's the direction and pace the Minnesota Twins take. All-star right-hander Joe Ryan criticized Twins leadership for positioning the team to fail the past two seasons by not re-signing free-agent right-hander Sonny Gray. Two of the Twins biggest stars, both of whom are having their best individual seasons amid a 63-80 start, expressed displeasure about the team's recent direction, along with a lack of certainty about what comes next. As Buxton nears age 32 with three years to go on his $100 million contract, the idea of another deep rebuild is unappealing, especially if it takes more than, say, one offseason.

8/30/25	Byron Buxton had a surprising career first in Twins' win over Padres. If you've watched the Twins closely, you've probably heard this surprising stat: Byron Buxton, one of the fastest players in all of baseball, had never stolen third base. It's almost hard to wrap your head around, considering Buxton's 99th percentile speed. The rationale was apparently that he feels like he can score from second base on any hit to the outfield, so there's no need to take third. Well, after Friday's 7-4 win over the Padres, that stat is no longer. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/twins/minnesota-twins-news/...

"He never comes in the office too often by himself, but he walked right in there after the game for some high-fives," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said after his team's 7-4 win over the Padres on Friday.
