Reports: Twins Leaning Toward Falvey As Baseball Ops Chief

I sure hope they're not hiring the young guy so he wouldn't be as strong and therefore wouldn't make the top-to-bottom changes this organization needs.

In other words, my fear here is that Falvey would be more prone to keep Antony and many others in the Twins' org while simply employing some of the strategies he used in Cleveland.

In my view, this team needs an absolute overhaul of its front office. Keep some people if you need, but the new POBO has to bring a new culture and a new way of doing things. Period.

So...is he Jonah Hill? or who was he in Moneyball?

/s

I'm just glad it's someone from outside the organization!

As long as he is a blazer but no tie guy, I am good. No ties, but tie dye under the blazer would be ok.

I'm a bit disappointed it's not McLeod. 

I think it doesn't matter what anybody reading this thinks.  Get back to me in 3-8 years.

Has he fixed the pitching yet?

I can wait for the ink on the contract to dry before declaring the zombie apocalypse.

And to some of the other posters; don't second guess your lives that way. That path leads to the Dark Side.

Congratulations Derek Falvey! I like that he's young and he'll bring fresh new ideas to the organization. Maybe the GM will be in his 20's. I'm happy that he uses analytics. I really want him to clean house and that definitely includes Antony, Steil, Rantz and Deron Johnson this should be the first order of business! I hope he fires the entire coaching staff. I also want him to fire all of the minor league staffs. Fire all of our roving instructors. Our country club atmosphere must end starting today. Keep Audra Martin! Do we still have the Fox Sports North Girls? If not bring them back and have them wear outfits like Alary's, Hooters and Wild Bill's! On a final note TC Bear should be fired on October 2nd immediately following the game! \m/

I don't think this will be an issue. If they wanted to maintain the status quo, they would have hired Rob Antony.

If they're not ready to make an official announcement, it only makes sense that this would be the word given to their official team beat guy. 

And Berardino got the same quote. Do you think the article on the Twins website would be there if it weren't all but complete?

And please don't forget to burn down the stadium and move to Mexico City while you're at it.

I like the hire - hope he does get named this week so we can start on the reconstruction as soon as possible.  I love baseball but I have never been so ready for a season to be over.

Falvey came to his interview wearing this. Jim canceled everyone else's appointments.
