"Suffice to say, this is NOT a normal time for a top baseball executive to be moving on from an organization. I actually can't remember the last time it happened in January or February, and, even if I could, I'm guessing it would've been because of some unusual, specific, and/or non-baseball reasons. Maybe that's the case here, but it's also possible this was just the culmination of a bizarre offseason of inaction."
"I mean, if the Twins were going to turn over their baseball operations, the absolute LAST time you'd want to do it would be AFTER the offseason. You've missed out on all the best available options to build it out, you're going to have to sprint to figure out your scouting/drafting plans, you've now just built a 2026+ roster with the guy who is no longer in charge,"
The Minnesota Twins and chief baseball officer Derek Falvey mutually agreed to part ways on the eve of Spring Training. The timing is highly unusual and follows an offseason marked by inaction, a failed sale, minority investment, and a large sell-off at the Trade Deadline. The departure complicates roster construction, scouting, and drafting after most offseason moves were completed, and arrives just after hiring a new manager. The organization faces additional turmoil from a lost TV deal, uncertain ownership, and an upcoming CBA fight. The team will likely let current staff manage 2026 operations and re-evaluate after a probable lockout.
