The Minnesota Twins have exercised manager Rocco Baldelli's club option for the 2026 season, according to The Athletic. Although the Twins themselves haven't announced the decision, it comes at a moment when other, less-forgiving clubs would be mulling a different kind of managerial move.

Twins Provide Update on Manager Rocco Baldelli's Job Status Amid Season Slump originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Although the Minnesota Twins were able to get back into playoff contention in the American League last month, June has not been a friend to the team.

Baldelli being on the hot seat during a roller coaster season that followed last season's second-half collapse might make sense under normal circumstances, but these aren't normal times in Minnesota.
