Hayes: "Buxton Away For Personal Reasons"

There are points where this does become our business.  The MLB policy for bereavement leave starts at 3 games for dealing with an illness or death in the family.  If he misses tomorrow as well and we don’t make a roster move then it is officially our business to know why we are playing shorthanded as that is a MLB roster decision at that point and not just personal decision for Buxton.

Nope, still not even close to your business. How would it be? 

As I stated in my post, it is mine and other fans' business when it impacts roster construction.  The MLB Bereavement Policy was collectively bargained by the players and teams to allow for compassionate leave to players not to impact rosters by allowing for a minimum of 3 but no more than 7 days leave with the ability to be replaced on the 26-man roster.  If Buxton is not available today then I think it is fair game to question the team why we have not used the bereavement policy to replace him on the 26 man roster with Austin Martin.  Why are we playing short-handed?  

Just to confirm, I don't want to know any of his private business.  I just want to know why the Twins are not using roster rules that are in place to allow him his space, but still maintain a full roster.

You've got a lot of time.  Maybe you can try the **** in a box option.  Worked out well for me.  **** in the box and had to mail to box.  To Green Bay.  The day the Vikings and Packers played to a tie.  Mailing a box of **** to Green Bay was one of the more satisfying experiences on can have.
