Rocco Baldelli To Return To Twins In 2025
3 days agoManager Rocco Baldelli will return to lead the Minnesota Twins in 2025 despite a late-season collapse this year that left the reigning American League Central champions out of the playoff picture this fall, according to president of baseball operations Derek Falvey. The Twins lost to the Baltimore Orioles in Sunday's season finale to finish 12-27 in their last 39 games. Baldelli, 43, has led the team to three division titles in his six years with the team. The Twins broke their record 18-game postseason losing streak last year when they won a series for the first time since 2002. Baldelli has gone 457-413 overall after Minnesota finished 82-80 this year. He won the American League Manager of the Year award as a rookie in 2019 and has gone 3-8 in the playoffs. Falvey will also return to the organization in 2025, which will be his ninth season with the club. The Twins last won the World Series in 1991.
