Byron Buxton Plans To Be Twins\' Center Fielder In 2024 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Jan 29, 2024 1:42 pm

The Minnesota Twins are hoping to get more from Byron Buxton after he played just 85 games last season because of a knee injury that required offseason surgery.

In addition to that, Buxton hit just .207/.294/.438 when healthy. He was also limited to designated hitter. He didn\'t play a single inning in center field in 2023.

An elite defender, Buxton plans to return to center field this season.

\"Oh, yeah,\" he said. \"I\'m back.\" 

\"What makes me so sure [about center field]? My body tells me that,\" Buxton added. \"I wouldn\'t have said that if I wasn\'t sure.\"
