Byron Buxton Banks $500K Bonus on HR Swing; $3M More in Play

Buxton’s latest home run came with a bonus: $500,000 for clearing the 533-plate-appearance threshold. He’s now pocketed $1 million via incentives this season, per contract terms. Another $3 million is available if he finishes in the AL MVP top 10, per USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Twins, meanwhile, sits fourth in the AL Central and is out of postseason contention.
