The Minnesota Twins are moving from the manager Rocco Baldelli, who spent the last seven seasons leading the club.
Baldelli won three central titles of the American League with Minnesota, but after disappointing consecutive years, the team is directed in a new direction.
“This is a difficult day due to what Rocco represents so many people here,” said the president of the twins, Derek Falvey, in a statement. “He led with honesty, integrity and an unwavering commitment to our players and the staff. He gave himself completely to this role and I have tremendous respect and gratitude for the way he took and the way he appeared every day.”

Minnesota would be expected to compete again for the crown of the division, but ended 70-92. On the deadline for exchange, the twins became large vendors, separating from players such as Carlos Correa, Harrison Bader, Willi Castro and Ty France.
The Bullpen also received great success, with Jhoan Duran, who dealt with the Philadelphia Philis, headed five reliefs that were moved.

In total, Minnesota negotiated 10 players and reduced $ 26 million on payroll. They were 19-35 after the deadline, their worst end since 2016, and ended with the fourth MLB record.
Baldelli, 44, began his strong mandate, winning the award to the 2019 manager as a rookie pattern. He also guided the twins to a postseason victory in 2023, breaking the 18 -games club loser streak and ensuring his first victory in the playoffs series since 2002.

He ended with a 527-505 record in seven seasons.
The twins also face challenges outside the field. The assistance fell to its lowest non -pandematic level than 2000, with just over 1.7 million tickets sold in Target Field.
Fans have expressed their frustration with property. The Pohlad family began to reduce costs after the promising 2023 season and put the franchise for sale last year. In August, they reversed the course, choosing to retain the majority control while bringing new investors to help pay the debt.

“In the last seven years, Rocco has been much more than our manager. He has been a trusted partner and teammate to lead this organization,” said Falvey. “Together we share deep attention to the twins, for our players and staff, and for doing everything in our power to put this club in the best position to succeed.”
