In a recent tweet, Craig Mish of SportsGrid suggested that the Miami Marlins would be a team to watch out for when it comes to potentially acquiring Minnesota Twins CF Byron Buxton. Although Buxton only had 61 games played (235 AB) in 2021, he played extremely well: .306 BA, 72 H, 19 HR, 32 RBI, 9 SB, .358 OBP, 1.005 OPS.
Buxton’s talent has never been in question, only his durability. He’s now entering his final season of arbitration eligibility.
Should the Marlins trade for Buxton if they can get a fair price for him?
