MINNEAPOLIS – Despite a disappointing finish to the season, the Minnesota Twins have announced that their current skipper will be returning to the helm for another year. The team’s president of baseball operations made the announcement on Sunday, prior to the final game of the season.
The 43-year-old manager has led the Twins to three division titles in his six years at the helm, and boasts an overall record of 457-412 heading into the final game. While the team’s late-season collapse was certainly disappointing, the manager’s job security was never in question.
When asked about the boos and chants calling for his dismissal, the manager showed respect for the fans’ opinions, acknowledging that they have every right to express their frustrations. However, the players have rallied around their leader, placing the blame for the team’s struggles squarely on their own shoulders.
“It’s not fair to put everything on him,” said one pitcher. “We’re the ones performing on the field, and we didn’t get the job done. He’s putting out the lineups, and we’re trying to execute. I think most of the blame should be on us.”
The team’s star shortstop, who missed 53 games due to injury, echoed the sentiment. “If you want to blame someone, blame me for missing two months and not being able to contribute to the team. I think that’s one of the main reasons we struggled.”
With the manager’s return confirmed, the team can now focus on rebuilding and preparing for a stronger season in 2025.
