Molitor out as Twins manager; new role offered
MINNEAPOLIS -- In a surprise move, the Twins will have a new manager in 2019, as Hall of Famer Paul Molitor has been offered a new role in the organization, a source confirmed to MLB.com on Tuesday. The Twins will host a press conference at Target Field on Tuesday to make the announcement official.
Molitor, the American League Manager of the Year in 2017, oversaw a disappointing season with the Twins out of contention by early July and serving as sellers at the Trade Deadline. Minnesota finished with a 78-84 record and failed to build on its surprise run to the AL Wild Card Game in '17.
