Minnesota Twins: Why extending Derek Falvey is the right move

The Minnesota Twins have already been hard at work this offseason just two days after their dream season came to a disappointing finish. After reports surfaced that the Twins would be keeping Nelson Cruz by exercising his 2020 option, another report from ESPN’s Buster Olney dropped the news that the Twins are also working on an extension for Chief Baseball Officer Derek Falvey.

According to Olney, the news makes sense to keep Falvey around not only considering his success with the Twins, who won 101 games last season but also because of the threat of the opening in the Boston Red Sox front office after the firing of Dave Dombrowski last month.
