The Rule 5 draft, held annually at the winter meetings in December, never garners much fanfare, but it has been known to yield some noteworthy transactions.
The Milwaukee Brewers could come out swinging in the weeks ahead, and add a big piece to the outfield. After falling short to the eventual World Champion Dodgers in the NLDS, the Brewers have the resources to be among the bigger spenders, and could allocate big resources to upgrading the outfield.
Coming off a career year and one of the healthiest of his professional life, Byron Buxton may miss a chunk of the Twins' spring training in 2026. However, instead of the usual injury concerns, it's because the star center fielder may be representing the USA in the World Baseball Classic.
It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Phillies are evaluating ways to upgrade their outfield this winter. Whether Byron Buxton has actually crossed their radar is unknown, but the concept of finding a dynamic center fielder is hardly foreign to a front office operating deep in win-now mode.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have yet to address their need for an outfielder this season, and they just lost one of their potential trade targets for the offseason.
The Detroit Tigers entered the offseason with the goal of making some real improvements to take the next step as a team, and it's no secret the quickest way to do that is by acquiring a superstar.

America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.

Byron Buxton is one of the most tantalizing players in baseball when healthy: an elite defender, game-changing speed, and the power to hit 25–30 homers a season.
For good reason, there’s been plenty of buzz connecting the Braves to Minnesota’s All-Star centerfielder Byron Buxton. It really started at the trade deadline, when the Braves reportedly made a push for the Georgia native but came up empty because Buxton refused to waive his no-trade clause.
Since the offseason began, rumors and speculation have swirled around the possibility of the Twins trading one or multiple of their three veteran stars: Outfielder Byron Buxton and starting pitchers Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez.
The buzz this offseason is that Byron Buxton would be willing to waive his no-trade clause for several teams — including the Atlanta Braves — if the Twins don’t make an effort to add talent and compete.
One of the last men standing in Minnesota could soon be on his way out of town as well. Minnesota Twins star outfielder Byron Buxton is willing to waive his no-trade clause in order to facilitate a move out of Minnesota, Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan of ESPN reported on Tuesday.
Is Byron Buxton going to be traded this winter? According to one reputable insider, there's a 35% chance the Minnesota Twins deal him. More prominent in the insider's report, however, is that Buxton is apparently now willing to waive his no-trade clause.
At the trade deadline, the Minnesota Twins offloaded much of their top talent, including bullpen arm Brock Stewart to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and closer Jhoan Duran, which appears to be a move towards yet another rebuild.

He is in the fourth season of a seven-year, $100M contract extension that covers the 2022-28 seasons.
