Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins has concerns about ABS making baseball "more complicated" after a challenge system debuted at the MLB All-Star game.

Pretty much every kid who swung a bat in the state of Georgia in the 1990s idolized Chipper Jones. The switch-hitting, smooth-fielding, do-it-all MVP of the dynasty-era Atlanta Braves inspired a generation of young ballplayers.

It was a strong showing by Ryan, a deserving All-Star who probably shouldn't have needed to get in as a replacement player. He's been outstanding all season for the Twins, who have dealt with injuries and poor performance from other key members of their rotation.

Buxton is 31, owed around $45 million from 2026-28 for a team that counts pennies, and has dealt with wrist, thumb, groin, head, toe, shoulder, hip, hand, and knee injuries, just to name a few, which too often have hindered one of the most-hyped prospects ever in an 11-year career.

ATLANTA — Joe Ryan pitched a perfect fourth inning with a pair of strikeouts in his MLB All-Star Game debut, while Minnesota Twins teammate Byron Buxton doubled and scored in the ninth inning to help the American League erase a six-run deficit Tuesday night at Truist Field in Atlanta.

This home run sparked a lot of good reactions from Woods's fellow MLB stars. His Derby opponent Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins had a spot-on reaction when the camera panned to him. His jaw was dropped, similarly to how a lot of MLB fans at home looked when Wood crushed that ball.
