January 17, 20197 yr I was watching the MLB channel and Ripken said that Rocco Baldelli is in the best position to do well as a first year manager. Just some positive stuff to see.
January 17, 20197 yr And ESPN suggested a trade of Buxton to Colorado for Jon Gray to restart both players!
January 17, 20197 yr And Plesac quickly voted for Schoop when asked if he or Dozier would have a better year. But neither thought of Buxton when asked for the best base stealer.
January 17, 20197 yr Author Yeah I was thinking Buxton also, for obvious reasons, as I am a twins fan. However then I thought to myself that he hardly played last year so they probably didn't even think about him?
January 17, 20197 yr Did the Twins exploit the extra year of control just to trade Buxton away? I would guess no, at least not at this point. Besides, why trade when you can DFA and THEN trade? Much more fun. Edited January 17, 20197 yr by Doomtints

January 18, 20197 yr And ESPN suggested a trade of Buxton to Colorado for Jon Gray to restart both players!I would take that in a heartbeat. Twins have plenty of capable of taking over in CF and Pollock is still out there with his prices dropping every day most likely.

January 26, 20197 yr And ESPN suggested a trade of Buxton to Colorado for Jon Gray to restart both players! I would think the Twins could get a better return than Gray for Buxton if he has even a halfway decent season at the plate.
January 26, 20197 yr Gray has tremendous potential, and a move away from Coors Field would likely help his career. However, the Rockies have historically had a really hard time attracting starting pitching. They have a great group of young pitchers right now, and I find it hard to believe that they would trade any of them. I also think trading Buxton would come back to haunt the Twins.
