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 opened the season on the hot seat after a poor start. Bailey Ober allowed a pair of 3-run homers to the Mariners in an 11-2 loss.
