Buxton’s All-Star Rise and Twins Resilience | Minnesota Twins News

Byron Buxton just earned his third All-Star nod—and this time, he’s a fan-voted starter, making it a historic moment for him and the Twins. Teammate Joe Ryan joins him in the game, marking their second straight All-Star appearance together. Buxton’s been on fire this season with 25 homers and a solid OPS, while Ryan leads the league in starts with elite strikeouts and minimal walks. Despite injuries and a shaky bullpen, the Twins are staying competitive, even winning a series in New York after 12 years. Buxton credits his teammates and the team’s resilience for his success, calling this the most fun he’s ever had playing baseball. He’s avoided the injured list all year, even after recent hip discomfort, and the GM confirmed he’s not for trade—ever. With a no-trade clause and a contract through 2028, Buxton is locked in as a cornerstone and leader for the Twins.
