Twins GM Jeremy Zoll: ‘We Have No Plans to Trade Byron’ Buxton
Minnesota says Byron Buxton is not available, while Chicago plans to add pitching after injuries left five starters on the shelf.
- On Tuesday, Minnesota Twins GM Jeremy Zoll dismissed trade speculation surrounding Byron Buxton, telling reporters, "We have no plans to trade Byron Buxton," as the team remains committed to the 32-year-old star.

- Buster Posey emphasized on Tuesday that the Giants have "no plans to trade ace Logan Webb," though Posey noted the team will "leave all options on the table" otherwise.
- With the 2026 MLB trade deadline less than six weeks away, teams have begun making minor roster adjustments, and while major trades typically follow the July amateur draft, front offices are actively evaluating potential moves.
