The All-Star Game is less than a week away, and the July 31 trade deadline is quickly approaching. Teams are now discovering if they will be buyers or sellers.

When the Twins selected Byron Buxton with the second overall pick in the 2012 MLB Draft, they envisioned a game-changing athlete: a lightning-fast center fielder who could wreak havoc on the basepaths, chase down fly balls few others could, and slap line drives from foul line to foul line. Power was more of a footnote in the scouting report.

But the Phillies are well positioned if the Twins decide to trade Byron Buxton, writes ESPN. The trade proposal would send Andrew Painter, a top-25 prospect in all of baseball as a right-handed pitcher, and Justin Crawford, an outfielder and the son of Tampa Bay great Carl Crawford.

Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton, a Georgia native, will partake in the 2025 Home Run Derby. Major League Baseball made the announcement on Monday, a week before the Derby is slated to be held at Truist Park, the regular-season home of the Atlanta Braves.
