Twins Hire Former Coach and Ex-Pirates Skipper Derek Shelton as Manager, AP Source Says

  • On Wednesday the Minnesota Twins picked Derek Shelton as their new manager, a person with knowledge confirmed Wednesday night.
  • Following a season-long collapse, the Twins traded 10 players and finished with their lowest turnout of over 1.7 million tickets sold for 81 home games, fueling fan frustration.
  • Before returning to Minnesota, Derek Shelton was the Pittsburgh Pirates manager for five-plus years with a 306-440 record before his May 8 firing; finalists included James Rowson, Scott Servais and Ryan Flaherty.
  • The Twins join other MLB clubs that have changed managers this year, part of a wider round of moves around the league.
  • The Twins are 82-119 over their last 201 games, with attendance at Target Field a little more than 1.7 million for 81 home games, while ownership's sale plans add uncertainty.
