A potential trade target for the M's

[Donn Beach]

No trade clauses, I don't know what Buxton's contract looks like. Would the mariners want him bad enough to extend him?

Buxton is worth looking into to see if he would waive his no-trade, but even if he agreed to the move you would never extend him. He's said he doesn't want to leave Minnesota, but it doesn't hurt to ask. He's at the end of his career and the Twins probably won't contend for a while, so it isn't crazy that he'd change his mind.

Did you see Jude suggesting a Buxton trade?

I did.

Problem is Buxton has a no-trade clause and repeatedly has said how he has no plans of leaving the Twins.

Maybe he's just being a leader, but I'll take him at his word.

Yeah Jude mentions the ntc but no mention of how Buxton feels about the Twins. Pretty weak reporting to base an article on a trading for a guy that has gone public multiple times about wanting to be a Twin for life.

I screwed up that post. I'd say it would involve extending him. If he claims he doesn't want to leave, there needs to be something to change his mind. And the mariners aren't going to be interested

Yes, it never happens like this when a player leaves the Mariners

Here is someone to try after he gets through waivers... Nick Castellanos. Yes, he sucks, but he is better than Refsnyder, and a change of scenery might work. And the part that will make him a sure bet to be a Mariner...he will only cost about $700k and no players.
