2/24/25	Twins send veterans on a rare road trip — just for two innings. PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa made a rare trip away from Fort Myers on Monday, part of a Twins' lineup stuffed with veterans and other players projected to make the Opening Day roster. They only played two innings — the game at Charlotte Sports Park against the Tampa Bay Rays was wiped out by rain with the score 1-1 at the time — but their inclusion in the lineup is part of manager Rocco Baldelli's new initiative to get the vets more playing time this spring. That means more road trips, something that has been rare in recent years. “I think it's just good to get our guys out there and playing together, and out there not only early in spring but not taking two and three Source: https://www.twincities.com/2025/02/24/twins-send-v...

2/18/25	Healthy offseason puts Twins' Byron Buxton in 'good frame of mind'. Byron Buxton doesn't have too many predications for his upcoming season, but he did make one on Monday after going through the first day of workouts at Twins camp. “I'm predicting myself to stay healthy,” he said.

1/08/25	MLB Network ranks Twins' Byron Buxton as top-3 CF in baseball. MLB Network has ranked Twins star Byron Buxton as the No. 3 center fielder in baseball, trailing only the Mariners' Julio Rodriguez and the Padres' Jackson Merrill. Aaron Judge topped last year's list, but he's moving back to right field due to the Yankees' acquisition of Cody Bellinger. Buxton has moved up from the No. 7 spot a year ago, jumping ahead of players like the Braves' Michael Harris II and the Angels' Mike Trout. Despite injury issues that have followed Buxton throughout his career, this is his fifth straight year making MLB Network's top 10 at CF. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/twins/minnesota-twins-news/...

9/26/24	Twins' season on the brink after disastrous extra-innings loss to Miami. In the longest, most painful and putridly played game of the season, the Minnesota Twins fell 8-6 in 13 innings to the Miami Marlins Thursday night. The loss means the Twins' only path to the playoffs is by sweeping the Orioles Friday-Sunday and getting the Tigers or Royals to be swept as well. The Twins had numerous chances to win and failed. In the bottom of the ninth with Byron Buxton at second base and only one out, Trevor Larnach reached on a fielder's choice and then with Buxton at third Royce Lewis dribbled a ball in front of the plate and was thrown out at first base to end the inning.

9/22/24	Kutter Crawford, Triston Casas help the Red Sox sweep doubleheader from reeling Twins. The righthander had already surpassed both prior to Sunday evening's nightcap against the Twins that ended in a 9-3 Sox victory, sweeping the day's split doubleheader. “It feels good setting goals early in the year, trying to be healthy, trying to be durable,” said Crawford. There was a moment during the outing when a familiar fate seemingly found Crawford again. The righthander made it through his first 4? innings scoreless, but a pair of singles followed by a Byron Buxton RBI single to left put the Sox in a 1-0 hole.
