Silver Slugger Award season is upon us.
The winners for the National League will be revealed on FanSided's "The Baseball Insiders" YouTube show at 5:00 p.m. CST on Nov. 6, with the American League winners being revealed at the same time on Nov. 7. Just a couple of weeks ago, FanSided announced the 2025 Silver Slugger finalists in both leagues, and Minnesota's Byron Buxton deservingly was named among the hitters who can win the award.
But before we learn more about this season's award winners, let's take a take step back and remember one of the best and most surprising offensive seasons in Twins history.
