"The Twins shocked the baseball world this past week when they announced that the team was parting ways with team president Derek Falvey in what was framed as a mutual decision between Falvey and executive chair Tom Pohlad. More details have come out in the aftermath of that announcement on the circumstances surrounding Falvey's departure that offer additional insight into the motivations behind that decision."
"[Former Twins executive chair] Joe [Pohlad] and I had a different plan and working dynamic," Falvey said of his departure, as relayed by Hayes. "Tom wants to run it a little differently. ... Sometimes it's just a feel that you get where both sides kind of sit there and say, 'OK, is this the right match for what we need going forward?' And if you get to a place where you do"
Team president Derek Falvey and executive chair Tom Pohlad parted ways in a move framed as mutual, with further details revealing personality and working-dynamic differences. Falvey had been promoted to handle both baseball and business operations in a dual president role in November 2024, making his departure just over a year later unexpected. Staffers described the announcement as a "haymaker," and the timing came weeks before pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training. Pohlad characterized the relationship as two people suddenly thrust into working together. Falvey said Tom wants to run the club differently and that both sides questioned the long-term fit.
