Twins manager, Ron Gardenhire, will return with a two year contract along with all of his coaches. This means Gardenhire has prevailed in his discussions with the Twins. I assume he has obtained promises that the Twins will add players in the off season. How specific these promises are is not known, but the fact is that Gardenhire has done his job well and is not responsible for the three year 90 plus loss seasons the Twins have endured.
I think Gardenhire kept this team together this year and without his leadership a total collapse would have occured. When Tom Kelly decided to retire, I remember telling a high place Twins executive that they had no choice but to hire Gardenhire. That was and still is the right move.
By the way, the Cubs just fired Dale Sveum as manager, and Gardenhire could have moved there.
I respectfully disagree w/ you Clark. I’ve NEVER thought Gardy was more than a 3rd base coach in a manager’s position. His playoff record alone proves that. Twins have new, good blood coming up in the system. It’s time for new, fresh blood in the organization as well. Gardy and the entire staff should be removed.
