Phillies’ Byron Buxton rumor won’t come true, but another trade with Twins still makes sense
However, he has a no-trade clause, and there's a lot of uncertainty about whether he'd waive it and whether the Twins would move on from him.While Buxton might not be available, one CBS Sports writer suggested that a couple of other players in Minnesota might be. One of them is Joe Ryan, who I think the Phillies should actually show some interest in as well.“The 32-year-old Buxton has been on a rampage the last few weeks, hitting .297/.351/.672 with 25 home runs in his last 55 games. The Twins are only two games out of a wild-card spot in the woebegone American League, though it seems unlikely they will buy significantly at the deadline.
