Falvey would never want Bochey or Maddon there because they know way more than Falvey ever will.

Not disagreeing with your assessment of Falvey, but the manager/coach should know more.

GM/PresOfBaseballeOperations is a different job.  And if you are not actively doing "it" your skills at "it" will diminish.

Again, I have no opinion at this point aside from the Hamm's Bear, on who the next manager should be other than he better not screw up our development of pitchers and better improve out hitting and defense.

I personally don't have any, but maybe @Fire Dan Gladden can fill you in on his Twins Daily ID. 😏

@Maybe Next Year Listen to him on the radio and you will understand. Nothing personal, but arguably the worst radio personality in all of MLB

Despite being MN raised, hence the username, currently in Virginia.

The Washington Caps have a color commentator Craig Laughlin who I have tried to trade to any NHL, AHL or ECHL team for bucket of used hockey pucks.  Even tried sending him the KHL as well.

Unfortunately, still the color commentator

The biggest problem here is that Falvey is the one picking the next Mgr.  He should have already been gone.

Or maybe I'm a little butt-hurt because I just watched Louis Varland relieve Toronto's struggling starter in a Game 7, and slam the door on the M's.  No way that guy should be a Blue Jay.  Thanks, Derek.

Side note- just after Louis gets the job done, here comes the godforsaken mlb green thing.  Insult to injury.

**Edit:  OK, spoke too soon.  Louie then gave up a dinger to Raliegh.... Uff da, never mind.

East Grand?

I was actually wondering the same thing.  I grew up in GF.  So when I saw EGF I thought the same thing.

MLBTR reported, by way of LaVelle, that the Twins are interested in Scott Servais.

Off topic but also interesting…MLBTR also reported that Pujols and Hunter are out of consideration for the Angels position.

Ding Ding Ding... @Twodogs got it as well.

Why yes I did grow up in East Grand Forks.

The Red Pepper was, not sure if it still is, the place to go after a night out for Grinders.

Sad that Whitey's Wonderbar, I know it relocated, is no longer there.

The flood of 1997 led to eminent down fall on my childhood home on Forrest Ct.  It is now a levee

Looks like we can cross one name off the list...it appears Kurt Suzuki is going to be the Angel's new manager.

With the Angels poised to bring in a Suzuki the Twins quickly pivoted to acquire a Yamaha.

I moved to Cali in the late 90's, I get back once in awhile.  Took my kids to the Red Pepper a few years back, its still good, but something is different, not really sure what it was, but it wasn't quite the same as I remember.  Looked the same though, ha ha.  The flood changed a lot of things.

Looks like the Giants are hiring Tennessee Vols head coach Tony Vitello. 

Interesting choice. I particularly like this recent quote from him:

"I think everyone is suffering the consequences all the way up to the big leagues where guys are super skilled, but there’s less development, less coaching, less accountability and therefore less understanding of how to actually play the game to win.  And it starts all the way, trickle-down effect.”

Couldn't agree more. Playing the game of baseball needs to become an important point of emphasis again. 

We'll see how it goes.

On a one year deal?

That is pretty weird. 

I know there's been some speculation that it could be a sign that teams are behaving differently with the impending lockout, but the Giants apparently inked their guy to a three year deal with an additional year as a vesting option.  So for now, I'd chalk it up to Arte Moreno being Arte Moreno
