"ESPN reported that Buxton is willing to sign off on a trade to the right situation, meaning not just a move to Atlanta to join his hometown Braves. It was Atlanta and the Mets who showed the most interest in the 31-year-old at the trade deadline (h/t The Athletic), but the Twins' firesale at the time did not include him."
"Stearns dealt veteran left fielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for second baseman Marcus Semien, leaving only Juan Soto as the only confirmed portion of New York's outfield. Tyrone Taylor has been retained as a backup center fielder, while the organization's No. 2 prospect, Carson Benge, will be given an opportunity to make the Opening Day roster out of spring training."
Byron Buxton is willing to sign off on a trade to the right situation and could waive his no-trade clause. The Minnesota Twins were deadline sellers and could receive a decent haul for Buxton, who has three years left on a seven-year, $100 million extension. Buxton hit 35 home runs with 83 RBI and posted a .878 OPS in 2025. The New York Mets showed interest and now have an unsettled outfield after trading Brandon Nimmo, leaving Juan Soto as the lone confirmed starter. Buxton presents an affordable, proven center-field option until prospect Carson Benge is ready, with a possible later shift to a corner outfield role.
