Transaction -analysis: Byron in itself | Baseball Prospectus

Transduce Por Fernando Battaglini

The twins activated the JC Byron Buxton of the 10 -day injured list.

While the twin season crumbled in the early summer, despite a series of 13 consecutive victories in May Esperanza had inspired, Byron Buxton He remained firm. There may be rumors about a possible sale by Minnesota, but he would not be involved in a possible agreement. A reporter even asked about it during the press conference of the star game in Atlanta, and Buxton Snel The conversation decided With three words: “No exchange clause.”

Buxton fought hard to guarantee its autonomy by signing the contract for seven years and $ 100 million in December 2021. It was said that it was more willing to accept some extra stimuli than a slightly higher warranty in exchange for obtaining that non -exchange clause. And why shouldn’t I? To be able to control their own destination and just know where you and your family will live? That is the dream, and one that not all major extensions consider (ask him for Rafael Devers). Even if you are open to an exchange, you can send the conversation about where you would like to land.

However, when he went to the grain, Buxton would not move, not even when the twins continued to receive phone calls from the Mets, the parents, the Braves and three other teams about him. As Buxton said And Hayes From the athletics: “It is always good for you to love you. Melinterwerken is not. But the only place I want is Minnesota. All my options are easy.”

Buxton has just returned from the list of injured, after spending a few weeks on inflammation in the left rib cage. Although it naturally followed the tight deadline for exchanges of the team and felt disappointed by the departure of his classmates and friends, it was probably a bit disturbing to see the difference in the names that surrounded him in the coordination of the twins on Monday.

For comparison, this was the coordination of the twins in the last game of Buxton on July 26 …

… and so was Antier:

For those who wear the account at home, Carlos Correa” Willi Castro” Harrison Bader” Ty France And Christian Vázquez, currently injured, did not appear in the coordination of 11 August. Matt Wallner It wasn’t, because it is temporary on paternity. The only ones who coincide are your partner, the previous first selection Royce Lewisand the second year player Brooks LeeAnd if someone compared the Bullpens, they would also be the difference. We can not only call the meme of “the prince of rap” because Buxton still has at least some friends (Hey, Joe Ryan Neither was he transferred!). But it’s a change.

Buxton has lived many changes in Minneapolis. The team went through three mini -tips, to be bad too bad and to be a competition, and is about to start a fourth. It was selected by Terry Ryan and his career will cover himself from the end of the era of Torii Hunter until the beginning of Walker Jenkins. Can already flourish Luke KeaschallJenkins’ companion in the design. In the meantime, a new owner is a glimpse of a glimpse.

There will always be doubts about the health of Buxton and how he will influence both him and the franchise. His protection against transfer is even less strict after season 2026. But as long as he can control it, Byron will be happy to look at Minnie y Paul Until the twins recover their relevance. So it could connect some home runs to hang around.

The parents activated the LD Michael King of the 60 -day injured list.

The fans of parents have longed for King’s return, after a shoulder injury in May, which turned out to be a sought after nerve. In his first 10 openings of 2025, he looked almost better than during his great achievements in 2024, who voted him for the Cy Young of the National League in lower positions and it earned to be recognized as a pitcher who was worth an exchange for an exchange for an exchange for Juan Soto.

Like an imminent free agent, the emotion around King broke out when he reached the list of wounded for 60 days. It was a reminder that his right arm had wear and that the 2024 season was the first with more than 105 tickets since its time in the minor Leagues in 2018, partly because of how Yankees used it, but also partially on their availability.

Although King could still lead the rotation of the parents in the late season, it must take off the oxide. He had launched 61 launches in his robust rehabilitation opening of 3 and ⅓ triple-in tickets on 3 August, and did not even go that far against the Red Sox at home on August 9. It was removed after he needed 57 throws to overcome only 11 batters and two vacancies. It was King’s shortest departure since San Diego acquired it. He had to strive to limit Boston to just two races, helped by the out in the bases of Jarren Durán and an important punch with full bases Roman Anthony (After two bases per ball and that forced on the plate).

There is no rest for tired. The next King opening will probably be at Dodger Stadium this weekend. Confirm safety belts.

The Yankees posted UT Amed Rosario In the 10 -day wounded list (articulation sprained on the left shoulder).

The Yankees placed the J Austin Slater In the 10 -day wounded list (deportation in the tendon of the left Corva).

The Yankees tried to strengthen their bank in the deadline for changes with the acquisition of Rosario and Slater to crush the pitching with the left. Rosario played only four games before he injured his shoulder when he bumped into the right garden wall on Friday. Slater played three and injured the tendon of the Corva in the first opening last Monday. Both are now in the injured list. This regards this as a slow camera scenery of the four acquisitions of 31 July, which together lose their debut with the Yankees on 1 August.

At least Rosario It will return soonbut with Aaron Judge Limited to the designated attachment position, this all means a larger exhibition in the gardens for José Caballero (who made an expensive mistake on August 1), and yes, even for Giancarlo Stanton. The Great has had to play his first two games in the field since September 2023. It is the only way to have both his bat and judge in the coordination, and every slow step is a tense adventure.

The Diamondbacks selected the LD Casey Kelly from reindeer aces. The diamondbacks sent to LD Casey Kelly To reinde aces.

Kelly has already returned to Triple-A, but, dear reader, this is a genuine confession: he had no idea that the Infronter changed a pitcher and continued to play prospect top 100 (2010-13) four times. The 35 -year -old registered five outs as a reliever in two games, without allowing a career. Good for you. Can someone ask you what you are doing Sloppy And if they still contact?
