MINNEAPOLIS – Twins leaders are expressing the sentiment that there will be deep, systematic reconsiderations of just about everything that goes on in their organization as part of their early offseason talks — and understandably so, considering the magnitude and emotional toll of the team\u2019s collapse over the last six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be plenty of reckoning and likely changes to come as part of that, it seems — but the Twins plan to move forward with continued faith in their two top baseball leadership figures to set the direction for whatever comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both president of baseball operations Derek Falvey and manager Rocco Baldelli will return for the 2025 season, the club established Sunday. Twins executive chair and ownership representative Joe Pohlad gave Falvey a firm endorsement, and in turn, Falvey was similarly resolute in his faith in Baldelli as his continued leadership partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t judge employees off of six crummy weeks,\u201d Pohlad said. \u201c[Falvey has] got eight years of a r\u00e9sum\u00e9, and I talk with Derek daily, so I know what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s got a player development r\u00e9sum\u00e9, he\u2019s got a Major League r\u00e9sum\u00e9, and yeah, he\u2019s busting his ass. He\u2019s the right guy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRocco is my manager,\u201d Falvey said. \u201cI believe in his process, I believe in him, I believe in the partnership I have with him. That is how I feel, and ultimately, that’s the way we’re going to go forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will now be up to Falvey and Baldelli to determine what the next moves are — though Falvey closed the door on any immediate public comments regarding individual coaches or front office staff members, noting that those decisions would come at a later time following discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
