The Twins ARE NOT adding any salary, you will only see dumpster fire free agent signings.
The reality is there is no way to replace Buxton right now, there's limited options in free agency for a full time Centerfielder.
I say keep Buxton and work on finding a younger prospect to fill in behind him and the rest of the outfield.
Here is the question in retrospect would you have signed him to the extension? My answer is a hard NO they have way too much money tied up in a guy that can’t stay on the field. He is not a bad player but it’s too much salary to spend on the IL. The twins would be in a better place building out the roster with that money. If the team isn’t going to be a high payroll organization they need to be smarter about how that allocate salary. So would trade him just for some roster flexibility.
Trade Buxton and Correa, adopt the Tigers style pitching rotation
Trading Buxton would signify that we're rebuilding and then you might as well start looking at trading some other key pieces too. Unless they're there yet, I'm not myself. Buxton's contract is not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things. Also, I predicted the random Twin like 6ish minutes before the answer was guessed. Legend.
