Baldelli was clearly a scapegoat, especially if you look at his replacement. Baldelli is the second winningest coach (500+ wins) in Twins History. DF wasn’t going to fire himself, and the owners decided not to sell. That said he relied on analytics too much. Jose was totally mismanaged. He wasn’t the same after he got hit in the head. Poor coaching at AAA. Twins can’t seem to hire solid trainers, conditioning coaches and minor league managers/coaches. Way too many injuries. All JMO.
