Outfielder Byron Buxton has turned down a multi-year, $80 million contract extension from the Minnesota Twins. Terms of the offer have not been disclosed, but it was thought to be an incentive-laden offer, likely due to the fact that Buxton has been extremely injury prone. In fact, he is currently on the injured list with a fractured left hand.
