In a stunning and out-of-the-blue announcement, the Twins on Friday have parted ways with longtime president of baseball operations Derek Falvey. General manager Jeremy Zoll will ascend from the team\u2019s No. 2 spot on the baseball operations hierarchy to the top position (though his title is not changing).<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the past several weeks, Derek and I had thoughtful and candid conversations about leadership, structure, and the future of the club,\u201d executive chair Tom Pohlad said in this morning\u2019s press release. \u201cWe reached a shared understanding that the needs of the organization are evolving and that a leadership transition is the best way to move forward. I want to thank Derek for everything he has contributed to this organization. When he joined the Twins nine years ago, it was, in many ways, a watershed moment for this franchise. His leadership was transformational. He helped modernize every aspect of our baseball operations and led with strong values, intention, and purpose. Derek created a culture grounded in learning and in the belief that organizations grow when people grow. Under his leadership, the Twins captured three division titles and made four postseason appearances. We are grateful for his dedication, his integrity, and the impact he made here.\u201d<\/p>\n
