The Minnesota Twins are turning to Derek Shelton to be their next manager, multiple media outlets reported Wednesday.
Shelton was the Twins' bench coach in 2018 and 2019 before being hired to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates.
That stint in Pittsburgh ended this past May following a 12-26 start to the 2025 season. In five-plus seasons as Pittsburgh's manager, Shelton's teams went 306-440 and did not qualify for the playoffs.
The Twins moved on from Rocco Baldelli this offseason after the Twins fell flat with a 70-92 record. Though Baldelli guided them to their first playoff series victory in 21 years back in 2023, Minnesota failed to make the postseason four times in his seven-year tenure and went 527-505 in all.
Shelton, 55, previously worked in coaching capacities for Cleveland (2005-09), Tampa Bay (2010-16) and Toronto (2017).
