The day the Twins signed Carlos Correa to the biggest contract in team history was a momentous one for the franchise. But it was nothing compared with the day they changed their mind. The Twins executed their biggest midseason roster strip-down ever on Thursday,

The Padres were not the Twins. With his team’s playoff odds trending heavily upward in the past week, Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller did what he always does: he got aggressive and found ways to get what he needed.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton says it was "heartbreaking" to watch his club trade away almost 40 percent of the roster ahead of the 2025 MLB trade deadline, per Bobby Nightengale of the Minnesota Star Tribune.

The Minnesota Twins lost a significant part of their roster at the MLB trade deadline, but Byron Buxton is in it for the long haul.
