A 15th-round pick during the 2019 season, Varland's emergence as a legitimate big-league arm from Division-II Concordia-St. Paul is a win in and of itself. He has seen inconsistent results...16730Mon, 05 Aug 2024 13:17:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-center-field-dh-off-days-stats/When Byron Buxton signed his extension in the late winter of 2021, there was one central question on most Twins’ fans mind: even with a team-friendly deal, would Buxton play enough to make it worth it?

PAUL–He got famous with a fierce, high-spin curveball, but this spring, life threw him one.
