CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Minnesota Twins have dismissed manager Rocco Baldelli after seven seasons, citing unmet expectations over the past two years despite his overall successful tenure with the organization.

President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey announced the decision, taking personal responsibility for the team’s recent performance. “This game is ultimately measured by results, and over the past two seasons we did not reach the goals we set,” Falvey said, according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. “I take personal responsibility for that.
