Buxton, a Georgia native, will be heading home for his second All-Star Game, but the Twins' top pitchers were passed over for the AL team.

When the Twins selected Byron Buxton with the second overall pick in the 2012 MLB Draft, they envisioned a game-changing athlete: a lightning-fast center fielder who could wreak havoc on the basepaths, chase down fly balls few others could, and slap line drives from foul line to foul line. Power was more of a footnote in the scouting report.

The Twins almost certainly aren't trading Byron Buxton. The only way it could theoretically happen is if they get a massive offer and Buxton is willing to waive his no-trade clause.

A Philadelphia Phillies trade idea would land Minnesota Twins' Byron Buxton for Justin Crawford and Andrew Painter in a "Godfather" trade offer.
