I'm late to the party on this discussion but I'm not upset or perplexed by the offer, the rejection, and the whole situation. when he's healthy Buxton is one of if not the best at his position in the game. There's a reason we have the record we do when he's in the lineup. The problem is that going back to his initial call-up in 2015 he's barely been able to play in 50+% of the games. The Twins offer may be considered low, but I'm also not faulting them for not wanting to overpay for a player they know cannot stay healthy. They want him back, and if the reports that there were incentives throughout the contract are true then I think the FO is doing the right thing for the franchise. It sucks, but if the two sides can't figure this out then the best and most risk-averse thing to do is trade him now.
