MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota Twins have introduced the club's new senior vice president and general manager, Thad Levine.
“I couldn’t envision a better partner to help return championship-caliber baseball to Minnesota," said newly-named executive vice president and chief baseball officer Derek Falvey. "Thad’s leadership and management experiences across all facets of baseball operations make him the perfect fit for the role, and I’m looking forward to executing our vision together.”
Levine, 44, has spent the last 11 seasons as the assistant general manager for the Texas Rangers. He spent the previous six seasons in the Colorado Rockies organization. His career in baseball began with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1999.
“As I embark on what I hope to be the most impactful phase of my career, I would like to thank the Pohlad family, Derek Falvey, Dave St. Peter and the Minnesota Twins fans for giving me the opportunity to join the Minnesota Twins family,” Levine said. “I am inspired to work for the Twins franchise, known as being one of the best organizations in all of professional sports due to the stalwart leadership of the Pohlad family, commitment of its loyal workforce, talent of its players and unflagging loyalty of its fans.”
In July, the Twins fired general manager and executive vice president Terry Ryan.
