"President of baseball operations Derek Falvey tells Dan Hayes of The Athletic that his focus is on adding to the team, not subtracting, unless he "is told otherwise" by ownership. To this point, he has not given serious consideration to trading right-handers Pablo Lopez and/or . The Pohlad family has reportedly not yet given the team's front office a directive in terms of the budget for next season."
"To this point, Buxton has made his desire to remain a Twin for his entire career clear. Even after this summer's teardown of the roster, he emphasized that he had no plans to waive his no-trade clause and hoped to finish his career in Minnesota. The Twins' offseason direction could put that loyalty to the test, as Hayes reports that Buxton might reconsider his stance if the team continues subtracting prominent players."
Derek Falvey says the front office is focused on adding to the roster rather than subtracting, unless ownership directs otherwise. Falvey has not seriously considered trading right-hander Pablo Lopez and/or another veteran. The Pohlad family has not yet provided a budget directive for next season, and a directive to deepen a rebuild could alter plans. Byron Buxton has expressed a desire to remain in Minnesota but might reconsider his no-trade stance if the team continues to move prominent players. The current rotation still includes strong pieces, and several young starters retain mid-rotation upside.
