The Minnesota Twins have exercised manager Rocco Baldelli's club option for the 2026 season, according to The Athletic. Although the Twins themselves haven't announced the decision, it comes at a moment when other, less-forgiving clubs would be mulling a different kind of managerial move.

Baldelli being on the hot seat during a roller coaster season that followed last season's second-half collapse might make sense under normal circumstances, but these aren't normal times in Minnesota.

Just when many thought the manager might be let go, the Twins confirmed instead that Rocco Baldelli is set for another year at the helm.
