The Minnesota Twins are preparing for the start of 2026 spring training<\/a> in just a couple of weeks. They are scheduled to play their first spring training game on February 21.<\/p>\n When we woke up on Friday, everything at Target Field seemed to be unfolding mostly according to plan. Sure, they\u2019ve mostly acted as pretend buyers, mostly making moves around the edges<\/a>, to try and improve a roster that needs much more than that.<\/p>\n That shouldn\u2019t be surprising, though. Nobody expected the MN Twins to be anything else this offseason. We all know they Pohlads are too cheap<\/a> to be real buyers, no matter what they promised<\/a> at the Winter Meetings.<\/p>\n Derek Falvey and Minnesota Twins \u201cmutually agree to part ways\u201d<\/p>\n On the other hand, nobody expected what happened this morning at 1 Twins Way. According to a statement released by the team<\/a>, the Minnesota Twins and president Derek Falvey have \u201cmutually agreed to part ways\u201d.<\/p>\n In his place will be new Twins GM, Jeremy Zoll<\/a>. Tom Pohlad<\/a> \u2014 who took over at the top of the family baseball tree recently for his younger brother Joe \u2014 will \u201ctake over business operations\u201d for Falvey.<\/p>\n Minnesota Twins and Derek Falvey Mutually Agree to Part Ways pic.twitter.com\/ILxMXy1AZl<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Minnesota Twins (@Twins) January 30, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n MINNESOTA TWINS AND DEREK FALVEY MUTUALLY AGREE TO PART WAYS<\/p>\n The Minnesota Twins today announced that the club and former President, Baseball and Business Operations Derek Falvey have mutually agreed to part ways. Executive Vice President, General Manager Jeremy Zoll will continue leading the Twins\u2019 baseball department. Executive Chair Tom Pohlad will assume interim oversight of the club\u2019s business operations.<\/p>\n Falvey was hired as the Twins\u2019 Executive Vicens WIN! President, Chief Baseball Officer in October 2016 and was named President, Baseball Operations in 2019. He was elevated to President, Baseball and Business Operations on March 3, 2025. During Falvey\u2019s tenure, the Twins posted a 690-666 (.509) record for the 13th-most wins in Major League Baseball over the past nine seasons. His clubs reached the Postseason four times, winning the American League Wild Card in 2017 and the American League Central Division in 2019, 2020 and 2023.<\/p>\n Official Minnesota Twins statement on parting ways with Derek Falvey<\/p>\n Tom Pohlad walking instead of talking\u2026?<\/p>\n Last week, Tom Pohlad spoke with reporters and did a lot of talking about how he wants things to be different under this leadership. At the time, I told him<\/a> to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk\u2026 so maybe this is exactly that.<\/p>\n Derek Falvey took over as Minnesota Twins president of baseball operations in 2017. He was promoted to president of baseball and business operations<\/a> in 2024. He never really took over the business side, however.<\/p>\n Instead, the \u201cretired\u201d Dave St. Peter has handled the minority owners coming in, along with most other business activities. Now, that stuff will apparently fall on Tom Pohlad\u2026 at least for now.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMentioned in this article: Derek Falvey<\/a> <\/p>\n More About:Minnesota Twins<\/a><\/p>\n Add MinnesotaSportsFan as a preferred source on Google. \t\t\t![\"Add](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge.png\"){kind=icon}
