As Twins fans know, it was a dark season for their favorite team. Minnesota missed the playoffs for the second straight season after finishing the 2025 campaign with the second-worst record in the American League (70-92) behind the Chicago White Sox (60-102). However, one bright spot for the Twins this year was the performance of the team's longest-tenured player: Byron Buxton.
