Twins' Buxton and Ryan in Award Race

Byron Buxton’s MVP-caliber season and Joe Ryan’s Cy Young-worthy pitching are turning the Minnesota Twins into unexpected award contenders. Buxton’s power surge and elite slugging put him near the top in key stats, while Ryan’s consistency and strikeout dominance have him fifth in Cy Young odds. Though not favorites, their strong performances reignite hope for a Twins player to win major awards—something not seen since Joe Mauer in 2009. A dream season would see both win simultaneously, a historic rarity, but even if they fall short, their impact is electrifying the fanbase.
