>>Twins Announce Leadership Changes
(Minneapolis, MN) — The Minnesota Twins have announced organizational changes. Longtime President and CEO Dave St. Peter will transition to an advisory role. Derek Falvey will be elevated to President of Baseball and Business Operations, and Jeremy Zoll will be promoted to general manager. St. Peter will advise the Twins ownership through the potential sale process, but he says one thing that won’t change is the family atmosphere at the ballpark. He says, “The family tradition of Twins baseball is paramount. That will continue long after I’m gone. Still, we’ll continue to invest in it, improve the Target Field experience, and find ways for Twins baseball to be more accessible to fans across the region. These changes take effect in early 2025 before the new season.
