MLB writers and media members have been speculating all offseason long that the Twins may trade some of their star players to help alleviate the organization's debt and improve their farm system. However, The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported on Friday that the Twins "do not anticipate moving center fielder Byron Buxton or right-handers Joe Ryan and Pablo López, according to league sources briefed on their plans. Minnesota’s goal is to keep those players, build around them and compete in 2026."
While this report brings joy to most Twins fans, it also confuses many of them.
