Baldelli was hardly the primary issue over this stretch, but the organization had already exhausted its other scapegoats. ...19227Tue, 30 Sep 2025 16:08:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/6-candidates-to-be-the-next-manager-of-the-minnesota-twins-r19228/The Minnesota Twins made waves on Monday by dismissing Rocco Baldelli, closing the book on a seven-year managerial tenure that brought both high highs and low lows. Now comes the critical question: who’s next? It’s early in the process, and right now, there’s no reporting to suggest who the...19228Tue, 30 Sep 2025 13:33:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/firing-rocco-baldelli-is-moving-deck-chairs-on-twins-titanic-and-the-pohlads-sank-the-lifeboats-r19224/The Twins announced on Monday that manager Rocco Baldelli won’t be back for the 2026 season, despite being under contract next season.

Making his major-league debut in early 2023, Julien instantly became (at least for a short while) one of the premier take-and-rake bats in baseball, hitting .263/.381/.459 with 16...19217Mon, 29 Sep 2025 16:18:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxtons-2025-was-another-addition-to-minnesotas-rich-center-field-legacy-r19221/With game 162 closing the book on the 2025 Twins, Byron Buxton sat on the bench as a spectator. James Outman netting the start in center essentially ended Buxton’s year; even a stray pinch-hit appearance would have done little to aid or mitigate a tremendous year for the 31-year-old.

Instead of stressing over late-inning bullpen decisions or a lineup change that doesn’t make sense, Minnesotans get to sit back, relax, and decide whom they’re going to casually cheer for...19223Mon, 29 Sep 2025 11:55:30 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-starters-finish-strong-r19222/The Weekly Nutshell: The Twins surpassed the 90-loss mark on the season's final road trip, marking their first time reaching this milestone of failure in the Derek Falvey or Rocco Baldelli eras.

Cue the record scratch. Buxton has a full no-trade clause through the 2026 season, and limited protection against trades for 2027 and 2028.
