Minnesota Twins’ new front office additions, Derek Falvey and Thad Levine, conducted an interview with Paul Molitor‘s about his coaching staff. What shook out after this meeting raised a few eyebrows.
Twins made history in 2016 on the field, and not much of it was good. They finished with the worst record ever since coming to Minnesota, and sported their highest team ERA (5.08) in 16 years. They also hit 200 home runs for the first time since 1964.
So, of course, the Twins fired hitting coach Tom Brunansky, along with first base coach Butch Davis, and kept pitching coach Neil Allen.
