Overview
- General manager Jeremy Zoll will continue leading the baseball department, with reporting lines now directly to executive chair Tom Pohlad.
- Derek Falvey departs after nine seasons that produced a 690-666 record, four postseason berths and three AL Central titles, with both sides calling the move a mutual decision.
- The timing arrives less than two weeks before camp, creating short-term disruption as the club finalizes preparations for spring training.
- The change follows a turbulent stretch that included a 70-92 finish in 2025, a significant trade‑deadline selloff and the hiring of manager Derek Shelton after Rocco Baldelli’s exit.
- Pohlad emphasized urgency and a longer-term plan for the franchise’s direction, while Falvey said he will spend time with family before considering his next role.
