Twins Retain Manager Rocco Baldelli Despite Late-Season Collapse

Minnesota Twins president confirms Baldelli's return for 2025 after team misses playoffs following a dramatic downturn.

The Minnesota Twins experienced a significant collapse, losing 26 of their last 38 games, and missed the 2024 postseason.
Despite fan chants calling for his dismissal, Rocco Baldelli will remain as the Twins' manager for the 2025 season.
President of baseball operations Derek Falvey and owner Joe Pohlad expressed confidence in Baldelli's leadership and process.
Players, including pitcher Bailey Ober and shortstop Carlos Correa, defended Baldelli, attributing the collapse to their own performance and injuries.
The Twins organization plans to reflect on the season and make necessary changes, but no major leadership overhauls are expected.
