Derek Shelton, the new Minnesota Twins manager, was introduced on November fifth, sparking questions about the team's future. Shelton, who previously managed the Pittsburgh Pirates, didn't reveal details about the team's plans during his press conference. He hinted that more information would come out later, but his past experiences and conversations with team ownership convinced him to take the job. Twins president Derek Falvey believes Shelton is stepping into a stronger situation with the Twins, as the current roster has more talent than the Pirates team. Falvey's main goal for the offseason is to avoid weakening the team, focusing on strengthening areas like the bullpen through external additions and developing young players. The baseball Winter Meetings, where many team decisions are made, are scheduled for December eighth through tenth in Orlando, Florida.
