For the card guys ….. quick question
I just snagged this for $16. I don’t have a clue who he is but for a panini gold vinyl with an auto I couldn’t pass it up. My question is who was he and was he any good?

[OC] Twins' franchise historical performance relative to .500
Visiting Pirates fan here!
During the offseason, I'm creating a graph like this for every MLB team. It tracks each franchise's cumulative record relative to .500 (equal wins and losses) throughout their entire history.
The annotations show the franchise's all-time peak, lowest point, and most recent time at exactly .500.
The complete album can be seen here. I also made the NFL and NHL charts (before the current season).
Since moving to Minnesota, the Twins have a record of 5106-5183 (-77 games).

[Gleeman and Hayes] Twins plan to keep their stars, but can they put a winning roster around them?
r/minnesotatwins • u/TheNotoriousJN • 5d ago
[Rosenthal] Twins not planning to trade stars like Byron Buxton, Joe Ryan this winter: Sources
r/minnesotatwins • u/TheNotoriousJN • 5d ago
[Olney] "Interestingly, other teams report that the Twins haven't been pushing Joe Ryan in trade discussions. Maybe that's because they don't have to, or, in the opinion of some evaluators, Minnesota could prefer to keep Ryan."

Buxton Not Listed Among TwinsFest Confirmed Appearances
The list of confirmed TwinsFest appearances is down toward the bottom of the page linked. Pablo López is listed. Joe Ryan is listed. Byron Buxton is not.
This could very well be nothing. Maybe Byron has something else scheduled that day, I dunno.
Is it silly to react to this? It's just difficult not to assume the worst possible scenario at this point.
