February is Black History Month, and over the coming weeks, Twins Daily will have a series of articles on African Americans in Minnesota Twins history. There have been award winners, All-Stars, and even a couple of Hall of Famers, with the remarkable Byron Buxton among them. THE PERSON For as excellent as Buxton is on the field, it’s his character that should have many Twins fans proud to call him their favorite player. From Terry Ryan to Paul Molitor to Rocco Baldelli, everyone speaks highly of who Byron is as a person. We’ve watched Buxton grow from a shy, 18-year-old from rural Georgia to who Baldelli described as “the most upstanding, hard-working, wonderful teammate and baseball player you could find." In 2016, Byron said, "I want to be the guy that is respectful to everybody.” By all accounts, he’s that guy. Buxton’s road has been anything but smooth. He’s dealt with numerous injuries, including a scary one that sent him to the hospital in 2014. Through it all, he’s remained steadfast, preaching a mindset of “never getting too high, never getting too low.” Here are just some of the things Buxton’s teammates have said about him: Ryne Harper: He’s such a nice, genuine guy who has his teammates’ backs. He’s awesome, man.” Taylor Rogers: “He’s a great person and a great teammate.” Trevor May: “I just think he’s a good guy who likes to work hard and is supposed to be Byron Buxton. For a long time, he’s had a lot of people yelling in his ear; he’s found a way to filter it out and be himself.” Appreciating Buxton's excellence carries a particular weight during Black History Month. Following the murder of George Floyd in May of 2020, Byron took to Instagram to call for change. Buxton was on the injured list to start the 2020 season but flew to Chicago to join the team for pregame ceremonies recognizing the history and horror of systemic racism. Byron and his wife, Lindsey, despite Southern roots, chose to stay in Minnesota, calling it home. Buxton is the father of two young boys, Brixton and Blaze. In a recent survey at The Athletic, 74% of fans picked Byron as their favorite Twin. *PHOTOS COURTESY OF BYRON'S INSTAGRAM* THE PLAYER There is a minuscule subset of players who flat-out demand your attention. Buxton does things on the field that others only dream of on any given night. He singlehandedly wins games on both sides of the ball. There’s no security like Byron Buxton in centerfield, and his development of immense power often leaves you with goosebumps. After signing his seven-year, $100 million contract extension, Buxton has become the face of the present and future Twins. He’s the team’s best player, combining stunning athleticism with lightning-quick hands and the fastest legs in baseball. Buxton, picked second in the 2012 Draft, has faced massive expectations over the last decade. By 2014, MLB Pipeline selected Buxton, at 20 years old, as the best prospect in the sport. The lofty expectations set have been realized over the last three years. Buxton boasts an OPS+ of 137 (MLB average is 100), with 102 extra-base hits and 25 steals (in 30 attempts) over his last 187 games. Buxton’s been worth 22 Outs Above Average defensively over that span. The next step is, of course, extending that over an entire season of health. Buxton is the heart and soul of the Twins, completely altering the team's dynamic and feel. The Twins are significantly more dangerous when Buxton plays and a much-reduced group without him. Byron Buxton is everything you’re looking for in a team leader: competitive, driven, kind, and so much more. MORE BLACK HISTORY MONTH COVERAGE FROM TWINSDAILY THE TALENTED MR.

A top notch player on the field and off, Byron Buxton encapsulates everything you're looking for in a team leader. View full video

Jake Odorizzi made his mark on the Twins in just a few seasons, and a reunion with the right-hander would benefit all three sides. The Astros signed Odorizzi, 31, to a three-year deal following a rough, shortened 2020 season with the Twins. Odorizzi had bypassed free agency by accepting the qualifying offer from Minnesota in 2019, then spent much of 2020 injured. At that time, the Astros had much less certainty in their rotation. They hadn’t yet witnessed the breakouts of José Urquidy, Framber Valdez, Luis Garcia, or Lance McCullers, Jr. Add in Cristian Javier and a healthy Justin Verlander. That’s a crowded rotation, with Odorizzi on the outside looking in. Odorizzi owns a 4.49 ERA and 4.67 FIP in 118 1/3 innings since he started Game 3 of the 2019 ALDS at Target Field. His strikeout rate is down, he’s getting battered more often, and his splitter is getting bit. But Odorizzi still has an excellent four-seam fastball and an underutilized cutter. He also wasn't shy about his love for the Twins and the mound at Target Field. Right-handed hitters had little chance against Odorizzi in 2019, and he pitched very well at Target Field. With Tim Anderson, Luis Robert, José Abreu, and Franmil Reyes in the division, the Twins could use someone who has gotten them out before. Odorizzi is a luxury starter for Houston. A trade would benefit both him and the Twins and makes a ton of sense on the Astros side. Odorizzi is owed $8 million in 2022 and harnesses an $8.5 million player option for 2023. With the Twins valuing flexibility, you’ll be hard-pressed to find more. If Odorizzi were a free agent today, he’d probably sign a one-year deal in that same range. He needs to build back his value and re-establish mid-rotation status. Starting every fifth day for the Twins could provide that opportunity, with a chance for 2019-like success. Even if he stays within his career numbers, a 3.95 ERA and 105 ERA+, he’d instantly become the Twins’ most experienced and successful starter. MLB Trade Simulator values Odorizzi at negative-7.5, given his recent performance, health, and contract. If that’s the case, this deal should’ve happened before the lockout. There’s an argument that giving up anything for Odorizzi pales in comparison to just signing a bounce-back starter candidate in free agency. The difference: we’ve seen what Odorizzi can be for the Twins. At his best, he’s a fastball-heavy number three in a good rotation. It seems the Twins are keeping rotation spots open for their top pitching prospects to breakthrough. That’s all good and dandy, but you still need innings. If you’re unwilling to commit multiple years in free agency for quality starters, trade for a known person and player in Odorizzi. It benefits all three sides.

Odorizzi was a fan-favorite during his stint with the Twins, and his spot on the team may make sense now more than ever. The Astros have a glut of young starters, along with Justin Verlander, and Odorizzi would benefit from a consistent rotation spot. The Twins have plenty of those. View full video

Love *you*!

It’s not often a playoff team trades away their ace the following offseason, but the Tampa Bay Rays could do so with Tyler Glasnow. Baseball is a relatively simple game. Offseasons are usually just as simple, with contending teams adding to their rosters while clubs further away build for the future. The Rays are an exception to that rule. Fresh off an American League pennant in 2020, the Rays turned around and traded their frontline starter, Blake Snell, to the Padres. Snell then had the worst season of his career, furthering the Rays’ impeccable timing on pitchers (but maybe not Joe Ryan). Constantly churning their roster and trading away pricey players for elite prospects, the Rays embody the notion that no player is “untouchable.” Enter Tyler Glasnow. The six-foot-8 monster from California is a must-watch when he takes the mound. Glasnow, 28, pairs a triple-digits fastball with a wipeout hook. Glasnow has struck out 36% of hitters since 2019, the third-highest rate behind Jacob deGrom and Gerrit Cole. Glasnow’s name floated at the trade deadline, with Ken Rosenthal and Dennis Lin reporting potential possibilities. Among 114 starters who’ve pitched at least 200 innings over the last three seasons, Glasnow ranks third in ERA (2.80), xFIP (2.78), and opponent’s average (.185), fourth in FIP (2.87), and sixth in SIERA (3.03). For as dominant as he is on the mound, he’s not on it very often. Glasnow hasn’t thrown 100 innings in a season since 2018 when he threw 111 2/3. Injuries have riddled his career, and 2021 was no exception. Glasnow was rocking a 2.66 ERA and 36% strikeout rate before he got hurt last June. His season ended with Tommy John surgery in August, and he’s likely to miss all of the 2022 season. A free agent after 2023, Glasnow is projected to make $5.8 million in his third year of arbitration (2022), with a raise to $8 or $9 million in year four (2023). Trading for Glasnow would be an investment for 2023, when the Twins hope to be back in contention. Think of the first Michael Pineda contract, when he rehabbed in year one and contributed in year two. That deal went well, and there’s a “back pocket” aspect to a trade like this. A trade makes sense if the Rays are looking to shed payroll and cash in on Glasnow before he inevitably reaches free agency. There’s no telling how many starts the Twins could expect from Glasnow in 2023, who will have thrown only 206 innings the past four seasons. Like Byron Buxton, assessing Glasnow’s trade value is a tricky proposition. He’s an elite player with health a major question mark. MLB Trade Simulator says a Ryan Jeffers and Jhoan Duran package would satisfy both sides. If the Rays wanted quantity, Matt Canterino, Keoni Cavaco, Brent Rooker, Caleb Thielbar, and Matt Wallner match up well. As Rosenthal eloquently wrote, Glasnow coming off Tommy John surgery is probably a better bet than any prospect the Twins would trade for him. Additionally, the inside track to an extension is compelling and offers an attractive opportunity for more value. Whether a long-term investment in Glasnow is wise is another question. Again, when healthy, he's unquestionably an ace. The Twins haven't had one of those over a decade. Glasnow’s price in a trade would likely be less than that of Frankie Montas, Luis Castillo, or even Chris Bassitt. It’s a high-upside move that could give the Twins a weapon in 2023 and potentially beyond. What do you think? Should the Twins make a run at Tyler Glasnow? Comment below!

Rays ace Tyler Glasnow is set to miss most or all of the 2022 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. When he's healthy, he's one of the most electric starters in the league, with a triple-digits fastball and devastating breaking stuff. A free agent after 2023, could the Twins get an inside track for an extension after a trade? Comment your thoughts. View full video

Unlike their pitching prospects, the Twins seem to have only four or five clear position players who could debut 2022. Who are you most likely to see at Target Field? This is an exciting group with high-risk, high-reward prospects mixed with established minor league hitters. Let's break it down. 13. SS Noah Miller The Twins picked Miller, 19, in the first round of the 2021 draft. JD Cameron recently broke down Millers’ all-around skills, if not his lack of a transparent standout tool. Miller could see Low-A in 2022, but a slow progression is a good bet. 12. OF Emmanuel Rodríguez The Twins may have a budding top prospect in Rodríguez. At 18 years old, Rodríguez posted an .870 OPS in 153 plate appearances for the FCL Twins in 2021. That’s quite impressive for someone listed at 5-foot-10 and 165 pounds. 11. OF Misael Urbina Urbina, 19, is still a ways away from the high-minors. He hit just .191/.299/.286 for Fort Myers in 2021. He was over two years younger than the average Low-A position player, but Urbina has work to do before 2022. 10. SS Keoni Cavaco Cavaco, 20, has had a rough two years in the minors. He’s played only 88 games, but Cavaco has hit just .217/.276/.289 while striking out in 35% of his plate appearances. 2022 is a big year for the former first-round pick. 9. UTIL Alerick Soularie There is a noticeable gap between Soularie and the four above him on this list. Soularie is an advanced college hitter who has yet to settle into the minors. Soularie, 22, was a monster at Tennessee and is a sleeper breakout candidate for 2022. 8. UTIL Edouard Julien Julien, 22, hit .267/.434/.480 across both A-levels in 2021, showing off impressive speed with 34 steals and power with 47 extra-base hits. One should expect Julien to hit in the heart of Wichita’s order for much of 2022. 7. 1B Aaron Sabato The Twins’ first-round pick in 2020 didn’t exactly turn heads during his pro debut. Sabato, 22, hit .202/.373/.410 across two levels, but that included a monstrous showing at High-A. Sabato could move up rapidly if he carries that late-season production into 2022. 6. OF Matt Wallner Twins fans have paid closer attention to Wallner, 24, because of his roots. A Forest Lake native, his performance should draw just as many eyes. Wallner hit .264/.350/.508 at Cedar Rapids despite working through a broken hamate bone in 2021. 5. SS Royce Lewis Many are anxiously awaiting the return of Lewis, 22, who has lost two full minor league seasons of development. He’s the type of talent who could move up quickly if everything clicks. Lewis’ progression is one of the biggest storylines for the Twins in 2022. 4. UTIL Spencer Steer Steer, 24, quietly broke out with a powerful 2021 campaign. Steer hit ten homers in 45 games for Cedar Rapids and earned a promotion to Wichita. His overall line there wasn’t great, but he had a 35-game stretch where he hit .272/.336/.544 with 18 extra-base hits. 3. UTIL Austin Martin Martin, 22, shouldn’t spend too much longer in the minors if things go as planned. Martin posted a .414 On-Base Percentage at Double-A last year and could spend most of his time in St. Paul in 2022. He’s a prime September call-up candidate. 2. OF Gilberto Celestino Arguably the Twins’ best defensive replacement for Byron Buxton in centerfield, Celestino, 22, is primed for another look in 2022. He hit .290/.384/.443 in 49 games for the Saints following a less-than-stellar debut with the Twins. 1. INF José Miranda A lock for a prominent role if he’s healthy, Miranda is far and away the closest Twins prospect to the majors. Miranda, 23, was spotless at the plate in 2021. His adjustment to major league pitching is a story to watch in 2022. The takeaway: prepare for Miranda Mania at Target Field. The breakout prospect is guaranteed to debut if healthy. Sleeper contributors include Lewis, Celestino, and Steer, with Martin likely joining the team later in the summer. The lefty-righty combo of Wallner and Sabato is intriguing for the future, as is Rodríguez. Who are you most excited to see in 2022? Comment below!

The Twins have an exciting and deep group of pitching prospects close to the majors. Who could we see first in 2022? If the Twins truly choose to “punt” on 2022 and get a long look at their young pitching, which prospects can fans expect to see first? 11. Chase Petty Petty, 18, may be the most exciting pitcher in the Twins’ system, with a triple-digits fastball headlining a potentially electric array of weapons. He’s also the furthest away from the majors. The hope for Petty in 2022 is a full-season loaded with strikeouts. 10. Simeon Woods Richardson That Woods Richardson, who pitched at Double-A last year, is the ninth most-likely to debut shows you how many young starters are coming. SWR, 21, struggled to get going in 2021, but a full season in one place should help him progress in 2022. 9. Louie Varland The Twins’ Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2021, Varland completely broke out to the tune of a 2.10 ERA across Low and High-A. Varland, 24, struck out 142 of the 421 batters he faced (34%) and figures to headline Wichita’s rotation when he breaks camp. 8. Chris Vallimont Vallimont struck out 32% of hitters he faced in 2021 but walked 14% and gave up 15 homers. He’s 24 with 94 innings under his belt at Double-A, albeit with a 6.13 ERA. Vallimont could debut out of the Twins’ bullpen with a good stint in St.Paul. 7. Matt Canterino This may be a surprising spot for Canterino, 24, considering he finished 2021 at High-A in Cedar Rapids. His stuff is flat-out devastating and if the Twins decide he’s a future reliever, his path to Minnesota could be expedited in a hurry. 6. Cole Sands Sands, 24, owns a 2.58 ERA and 28% strikeout rate in over 177 Minor League innings. He was outstanding down the stretch in 2021 and is set to man a spot in the Saints’ rotation to start 2022. If he stays healthy, he should debut by the summer. 5. Jordan Balazovic The Twins are rightly-set on Balazovic as a future starter, which could dial back his debut by a hair. Balazovic, 23, was tinkering with different pitch mixes throughout the 2021 season. He could do more of that in St.Paul to start 2022. 4. Drew Strotman Strotman, 25, pitched over 100 innings at Triple-A in 2021. He started 12 games for the Saints after the Rays traded him to the Twins, and he allowed an .850 opponent’s OPS. A move to the bullpen would speed up his timeline. 3. Jhoan Duran Duran, 24, struck out 14 of the first 28 hitters he faced for St.Paul in 2021, then struggled and missed the rest of the season with an elbow strain. A hybrid Major League role to build Duran’s workload and experience would make a lot of sense. 2. Josh Winder Winder was one of the best starters at Double-A before the Twins moved him up to St.Paul, where he dominated in his first Triple-A start. Like Duran, Winder, 25, then struggled and missed the rest of the season due to injury. He could be the first call-up of 2022. 1. Joe Ryan Ryan has already won over his fair share of Twins fans with a cool demeanor and outstanding results. Ryan’s fastballs look like they ride to the plate on a ramp, and as of now, Ryan is pitching on opening weekend in Chicago. The takeaway: you're set to see a lot of young starters pitch for the Twins in 2022. If healthy, the first five seem like locks, with Sands not far behind, and Canterino a sleeper bullpen addition. Vallimont and Varland aren't miles away either, with Petty and Woods Richardson trailing as the youngest of the group. Who are you most excited to see in 2022? Comment below!

Mitch Garver has been one of baseball’s best offensive catchers in recent seasons. With free agency looming after the 2023 season, should the Twins extend their right-handed slugger? Mitch Garver, 31, was incredible during the Twins’ magical 2019 run to a division title. He hit 31 homers and drove in 67 runs in 359 plate appearances. Since then, he struggled in a shortened 2020 and bounced back in 2021. Let’s examine his case for an extension. The Case FOR Extension Among catchers with at least 600 plate appearances over the last three seasons, Garver ties Dodgers’ Will Smith for the highest wRC+ (135). He’s arguably been the best-hitting catcher in the league over that span, even with a brutal 2020 season. Garver has produced 29.2 FanGraphs offensive WAR since 2019, ranking right behind Phillies’ star J.T. Realmuto among catchers. To have an elite bat at the catcher spot is one of the most valued commodities in the sport. Garver qualifies as that. Nine Twins have logged 1,000 or more plate appearances since 2018. Only Nelson Cruz (162) has a higher OPS+ than Garver (124), who has hit .256/.341/.494 since becoming a regular. An intercostal strain and ineffectiveness marred Garver’s COVID season, but he returned to form in 2021. Garver had 28 extra-base hits in just 68 games. If not for a brutal injury shortening his season, the Albuquerque native was on pace for a repeat of 2019. He set career-highs in hard-hit rate (54%) and walk rate (13%). Garver ranked in the 93rd percentile in pitch framing, furthering his progression behind the plate. Garver was negative-17 in Defensive Runs Saved in 2018. Since then, he’s been a plus-defender, saving four runs. He’s made serious strides and is now a masher who you can rely on defensively. Extension Comp: James McCann, New York Mets This is a little tricky, but McCann was around the same age as Garver when he signed a four-year, $40.6 million deal with the Mets. McCann was a free agent coming off two terrific seasons in Chicago. Both are right-handed sluggers who crush left-handed pitching. McCann tanked in his first season in New York with a .643 OPS and negative-bWAR, but he provides a solid look at what a Garver deal could encompass. Garver projects to make $3.1 million in 2022 and about $6 million in 2023 via arbitration. The Case AGAINST Extension That Garver is a catcher has been a significant plus in addition to his offense. The Twins are assuming he remains a solid catcher in an extension like this. That’s a rosy assumption. Garver is heading into his 30s and has already dealt with multiple injuries over the last few years. There’s also redundancy with two right-handed catchers on the roster. Ryan Jeffers looks very similar to Garver, with strong framing skills and differing splits against right and left-handed pitchers. It’s not an ideal tandem, but that’s not to say it’s impossible to navigate. Garver has had periods where he’s late on fastballs, and he doesn’t precisely limit his strikeout rate. There’s plenty of swing-and-miss in his game, and he has been streaky at specific points. When Garver's on, he’s lethal. When he’s not, you get stretches like 2020 and the first month of 2021. The Bottom Line Garver, like Luis Arraez and Taylor Rogers, is a staple of the Twins. He’s another favorite who has given Twins fans unforgettable moments of cheer since his debut. He’s become a rock-solid defender and has combined it with a beautiful right-handed swing. It’s always important to note that you are paying for the future in any discussion of a new contract. Garver has been great up to this point, but will he age well into his 30s? Can the Twins afford to invest in their catcher with so much uncertainty in the rotation? With an open DH spot in 2022, it’s conceivable that Garver will get to 500 plate appearances. What if he mashes, and the Twins risk losing him after 2023? Now could be the time to avoid that fate. Or maybe you ride out the next two years and move along at that point. What do you think? Should the Twins extend Mitch Garver? Comment your thoughts below!

Only the Dodgers' Will Smith has a higher wRC+ than Mitch Garver among catchers since 2019. As he enters his 30s, it's fair to wonder whether Garver will remain solid behind the plate in addition to his elite bat. Should the Twins extend him beyond the 2023 season, after which he's set to become a free agent? Comment your thoughts below! View full video

By nature, the Twins’ most likely trade candidate is also a prime extension candidate. Should the Twins extend their best reliever beyond 2022? Taylor Rogers bounced back from a difficult 2020 and pitched very well in 2021 until a finger injury knocked him out. With uncertainty in the bullpen and free agency looming next winter, should the Twins extend Rogers beyond 2022? The Case FOR Extension There’s no question that Rogers, 31, has become an underrated pitcher. He’s consistently been one of the best left-handed relievers in baseball and a steadying force for the Twins. Since 2018, Rogers ranks 10th among 209 relievers in Win Probability Added (5.78), 5th in fWAR (6.1), 9th in strikeout-to-walk rate (26%), and ties Josh Hader in FIP (2.52). Only Kirby Yates, Liam Hendriks, Felipe Vázquez, and Ryan Pressly have a lower Fielding Independent Pitching than Rogers in that span. He was the anchor for the Twins bullpen in 2019, when he was relied on for multiple-inning saves and back-to-back duties. Rogers combines an upper-90s sinker with a sharp, biting slider. He has excellent command and control and predictably rebounded from a rough 20 innings in 2020. Rogers was rolling in 2021 with a 2.45 ERA and 2.02 FIP before giving up a grand slam before the All-Star Break. The stifling lefty held opponents to a .262 On-Base Percentage up to that swing. Rogers is not only an anchor on the mound for the Twins; he’s a leader in the bullpen and the team’s MLBPA representative. He’s been a steady face for the club and is a fan favorite. Rogers’ underlying numbers also suggest that his numbers will trend in a favorable direction. Extension Comp: Zack Britton, New York Yankees Britton is a solid comp for Rogers, as both are left-handed and around the same age at the time of an extension. Britton inked a deal with the Yankees for three years and $39 million, with an option for a fourth year. $39 million over three years is probably a bit rich for Rogers, whose numbers don’t quite match up to Britton’s. It’s a solid base. The Case AGAINST Extension Rogers has indeed had some bad luck in recent years. It’s also true that his numbers haven’t been there since 2019. Rogers has a mediocre 3.58 ERA over his last 60 1/3 innings while converting 18 of 24 saves. He’s produced Negative-0.2 bWAR over the previous two seasons. Rogers has also struggled to contain right-handed hitters at times. His career splits are now stark, with a 177 point OPS drop facing left-handed hitters. The Twins worked on spotting up Rogers against more lefties by acquiring Alexander Colomé and going with a closer-by-committee. That plan went haywire as Colomé struggled early and Rogers was hurt late. Hence the biggest concern with a Rogers extension: health. His season ended prematurely due to a tendon injury in his finger in 2021. He didn’t get surgery, but it’s a storyline to watch if he remains a Twin in 2022 and beyond. Relievers can burn bright and burn out, and it’s fair to wonder if Rogers has seen his best days as a reliever. He’s been outstanding for the Twins, but you pay players for the future, not the past. The Bottom Line A healthy Taylor Rogers is still one of the game’s better relievers, and his stuff looked pristine in 2021. The Twins have plenty of bullpen uncertainty and an exciting group of developing starters that will undoubtedly produce a reliever or two. The Twins have avoided large bullpen contracts like the plague. Would they change up their process for a homegrown, beloved staple? They didn’t for Trevor May. It’s an interesting question and one that may get answered before spring training commences. What do you think? Should the Twins extend Taylor Rogers beyond 2022?
