In an emotional press conference, Baldelli thanked the Twins organization, players, and fans for their support, stating, “This team is in my heart forever, but it’s time for a new chapter. And there’s no better person to carry the torch than Ron Gardenhire.”Gardenhire, who managed the Twins from 2002 to 2014, is revered for leading the team to six division titles and building a culture of grit and consistency. His return has already ignited a wave of nostalgia and optimism among Minnesota fans.
Twins General Manager Derek Falvey called Gardenhire’s comeback “a home run for the franchise”, emphasizing that his leadership and deep connection to the team will be instrumental in shaping the Twins’ future.
Social media erupted moments after the announcement, with fans sharing classic highlights from Gardenhire’s managerial era and welcoming him back with the rallying cry: “Once a Twin, always a Twin!”
The new chapter for Minnesota begins now — and it’s led by a familiar face with unfinished business
