In case you haven\u2019t been watching, the Minnesota Twins are in quite a freefall. They\u2019ve now lost lost 10 of their last 11 games, a struggle bus that includes four-straight L\u2019s, after being blown out by the Mariners on Monday. Entering Tuesday, the Twins have fallen four games below .500, at 37-41<\/a>.<\/p>\n Looking for major changes? It isn\u2019t happening at the manager level, after news broke<\/a> late last night that Minnesota has already picked up Rocco Baldelli\u2019s 2026 club option. At last for now, team president Derek Falvey isn\u2019t thinking about selling<\/a> at the trade deadline on July 31, either.<\/p>\n That\u2019s good news too, since from the sounds of it, two of their most valuable assets \u2014 Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa \u2014 aren\u2019t interested in leaving. In many cases throughout professional sports, what they want wouldn\u2019t matter. But in the Minnesota Twins\u2019 case, it most certainly does.<\/p>\n Carlos Correa has no interested in Minnesota Twins trading him<\/p>\n Following his original one-and-done season in Minnesota, the Twins patiently waited out Carlos Correa\u2019s falling market, in order to catch him<\/a> when two other teams tossed Correa, his signed contract and bad ankle out with his failed physical.<\/p>\n Now halfway into their second contract together, the now 30-year-old, 3x All-Star and platinum glove shortstop has no interest in leaving the MN Twins organization, according to Dan Hayes (The Athletic)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Correa loves Minnesota. He bought a home here and loves it. Loves the park. Loves the organization and the way it treats his family. He\u2019s not interested in moving.<\/p>\n Dan Hayes \u2013 The Athletic<\/a><\/p>\n By no means does this tell us Correa is content with how things are right now, in Minnesota. In fact, that would be gross misrepresentation of his competitiveness. This is a guy that has won a World Series, and played in two more.<\/p>\n He lives for the postseason, and made it clear in an interview Monday<\/a> that he\u2019s not okay with the Twins\u2019 current spiral, something he said he has already discussed with ownership, coaches and the front office.<\/p>\n Follow up clip from a pregame interview with Carlos Correa + @trevorplouffe<\/a> helping fans read between the lines.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcfd\ufe0f: @twinstv<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/8Mv4gZmP06<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) June 24, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n The only problem with Correa\u2019s talking yesterday is that he\u2019s been a major part of the Twins\u2019 problem this season. Through 78 games, Carlos Correa is slashing a putrid .261\/.305\/.392<\/a>, resulting in a career-low 93 OPS+, though he is 10 for his last 25 with 3 RBI, 4 walks and just 5 strikeouts.<\/p>\n Related: Report: Twins Already Made Their Decision on Rocco Baldelli<\/a><\/p>\n In all reality, it is not a good time for the Minnesota Twins to even consider a Correa trade. There aren\u2019t a lot of teams out there right now who\u2019d be willing to take on the nearly $100 million remaining<\/a> on his contract through 2028, let alone deal out a bunch of prospect talent to get it done.<\/p>\n Byron Buxton still loves Minnesota<\/p>\n Byron Buxton\u2019s no-trade was included as part of a 7-year deal<\/a> that kicked in before the 2022 season. Buck\u2019s full no-trade clause is good through the 2026 season, at which point it will turn into a 5-team no-trade list.<\/p>\n And if you think Buck has any interest in waiving his right to refuse a trade out of town this summer, think again writes The Athletic\u2019s Dan Hayes<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n If Buxton can produce that holy grail season, I think you have to run with that as long as you can. He loves Minnesota and wants to win here. He\u2019s an exceptional talent and a very affordable one, even when he plays half a season, as frustrating as that can be.<\/p>\n Dan Hayes \u2013 The Athletic<\/a><\/p>\n The reality is that Minnesota was able to sign<\/a> Buxton for a discounted $14 million per year because he has so many injury concerns. Without his injury history, Buck is a $30 million per year player. He\u2019s proven that this season too, with his .280\/.347\/.565<\/a> slashline and 3.1 fWAR<\/a>, through just three months.<\/p>\n At least we have Byron Buxton\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/Ihs8dqcKwe<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) June 24, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n Listen, there\u2019s a way better chance of the Minnesota Twins retiring Buxton\u2019s number someday (currently 21st<\/a> in franchise history in fWAR), than trading him anytime soon.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMentioned in this article: Byron Buxton<\/a> Carlos Correa<\/a> Trade Rumors<\/a> <\/p>\n More About:Minnesota Twins<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t![\"Carlos](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Syndication-Naples-Daily-News-22163038-scaled-e1707340452385-768x452.jpg\")
