The Twins' new manager, Derek Shelton, became the manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2019-20 offseason after spending two seasons as Minnesota's bench coach under Paul Molitor and Rocco Baldelli. Shelton's tenure with Pittsburgh didn't go well, as he was fired in mid-May of this year after the Pirates began the season 12-26. Overall, Shelton's win-loss record with the Pirates was an awful 306-440 (.410). However, it isn't Shelton's fault the Pirates failed to make a postseason run during his tenure as manager. It's the team's owners and the front office's fault.
Even though Shelton had the honor of managing the best pitcher in the world, Paul Skenes, the new Twins manager wasn't provided with many competent major leaguers for his roster.
