All Things 2025-26 Minnesota Twins Off-Season Thread

I'd assume this is Tom trying to put his stamp on this sinking ship.
Not that I disagree, but dumb time to do it.

Zoll essentially gets a one year trial. Putting Derek in charge of the business side was always a joke. I'm guessing that had much to do with this.

Praise the Lord. Tom is my favorite Pohlad.

Have you spontaneously combusted yet?

Tommy is putting his imprint on the team

I'm still convinced Jeremy Zoll doesn't actually exist.

Until Zoll signs Christian Vazquez tomorrow because we need 4 catchers.

Perhaps they will bring back Thad Levine.

Levine just joined the Brewers a few weeks ago.

Only as an advisor. He would almost certainly come back if offered a Team President or GM role.

Seems weird to make this move just before the start of spring training considering this year appears to be a throw away season.

If you’re going to make this move should have been done last November.

Really odd to fire the Manager and then let go of the Chief of Baseball Ops. Also bizarre to double Falvey's responsibility and then boot him completely barley a year later.

Tom Pohlad was the one from his generation that they entrusted the majority of the families business ventures. Maybe he has a clue.

As a Twins fan, not much more to fall back on other than blind faith.

I wonder if the lack of a TV distribution deal at present was part of it

They have the same distribution for 2026 as they had for 2025.

The Vikings reacted by saying, "Hold my beer".

KAM. Out.

The Pohlad's: Finally we will have a good media coverage day of our bold actions...

I think both the Twins/Vikings swung the axe today because they specifically don't want media widespread media coverage.

Friday is typically when you want to minimize such stuff, "news dump".

I think it's pretty obvious that the Wilfs are monitoring your posts.

Unfortunately, I suspect the Wilf's will be hiring the successor.

We just replaced the carpet and now you have to track mud all over it.
