When the season began, Triple-A catchers Jair Camargo and Diego Cartaya were the primary high-m...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">19153</guid><pubDate>Mon, 15 Sep 2025 14:30:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Frustrating Side of Byron Buxton&#x2019;s MVP-Caliber Season</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-frustrating-side-of-byron-buxtons-mvp-caliber-season-r19150/</link><description>Byron Buxton has finally put together the season that Twins fans have been awaiting for over a decade. He&#x2019;s healthy, he&#x2019;s raking, and he&#x2019;s turning in highlight-reel plays on a nightly basis. At his best, Buxton has always looked like an MVP, but in 2025, he&#x2019;s actually putting up MVP numbers.

Justin Topa, who has been asked to carry more than his fair share of innings this season, is headed to the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain, retroactive to September 9.

If you play poorly, you&#x2019;re constantly at risk of seeing yourself pushed out of an organization. However, that pressure is amplified for young (let's just say under-30) players who have used up their minor-league options.
