Twins hire former coach and ex-Pirates skipper Derek Shelton as manager, AP source says

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins have picked former bench coach Derek Shelton as their new manager, a person with knowledge of the decision confirmed Wednesday night.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the hire. Major League Baseball encourages clubs to avoid spotlighting big moves during the World Series.

Shelton served as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates for five-plus years with an overall record of 306-440 before he was fired on May 8, just 40 games into this season. The 55-year-old was the bench coach for the Twins in 2018 and 2019 under two different managers, Paul Molitor and Rocco Baldelli. With the under-funded Pirates, Shelton never finished higher than fourth place in the NL Central or better than 76-86.

Baldelli was fired the day after the regular season ended with a 527-505 record over seven years, plus 3-8 in the postseason. The Twins won three AL Central titles under Baldelli, including their 101-61 finish in 2019 when the rookie skipper won the AL Manager of the Year award, but they made the playoffs only once in his last five seasons and frequently struggled to shepherd their top prospects into becoming consistent contributors.

New York Yankees hitting coach James Rowson, who held that role for the Twins under both Molitor and Baldelli before leaving to become bench coach of the Miami Marlins in 2020, was also one of the finalists. According to multiple reports, former Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais and current Chicago Cubs bench coach Ryan Flaherty were in the mix, too. The Twins are one of nine MLB teams who have changed managers this year.

Shelton, who was well-regarded within the Twins organization and a close friend to Baldelli, will take over a team that spiraled to a 70-92 finish after the front office decided to use the leverage of the deadline to maximize the incoming talent and traded 10 players off the major league roster in a stunningly aggressive teardown.

The Twins traded their five best relievers, from closer Jhoan Duran on down, and left the final 54 games to a ragtag group that had eight blown saves in 18 opportunities during that span. The conversion rate of 44.4% ranked second-worst in the majors over the final two months.

The Twins are 82-119 over their last 201 games for a .408 winning percentage, and that includes a 13-game winning streak this season.

Attendance has swooned at Target Field. The Twins finished with their lowest total for 81 home games (a little more than 1.7 million tickets sold) in a non-pandemic season since 2000 when they played at the cramped and dingy Metrodome and went 69-93.

Fans mostly have directed their disdain toward ownership, with deep frustration over cost cutting that came after the 2023 breakthrough Baldelli led with the end of a record 18-game postseason losing streak and the club’s first win of a playoff series in 21 years.

Executive chair Joe Pohlad and his family members put the franchise up for sale in 2024, but decided in August to keep control and bring on two new investment groups for an infusion of cash to help pay down debt.

·         Wear a brightly colored costume (or adjust a costume) to be highly visible to other pedestrians and motorists.

·         Carry a flashlight, glow stick, or any other light up tool to increase visibility.

·         Use face paint instead of a mask to allow you to see better.

·         Only trick-or-treat with an adult or responsible older sibling.

SEWICKLEY, PA / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / The Macomb Group, a leading distributor of industrial pipe, valves, and fittings (PVF), is proud to announce the opening of its newest branch at 304 Deer Run Road, Sewickley, PA, a strategic location just northwest of Pittsburgh. This expansion underscores the company’s commitment to deepening its service capabilities in the Western Pennsylvania region and surrounding markets.

The new 42,000-square-foot facility includes one acre of outdoor storage and is conveniently situated just off Interstate 79, a major corridor serving the greater Pittsburgh area. The location offers an ideal logistical hub for rapid distribution and expanded local support.

While The Macomb Group has supported customers in the region for years through its Akron, Cleveland, and Willoughby, Ohio, branches, as well as operations east of Pittsburgh, the new branch will allow for faster service, greater inventory accessibility, and tailored support for regional industries.

“We’ve supported the Pittsburgh market for many years through our operations in both Ohio and Pennsylvania,” said Bill Vail, Executive Vice President at The Macomb Group. “For some time, we’ve been actively seeking the right opportunity to establish a branch in the area, and we’re excited to make that a reality in Sewickley. This new location positions us closer to our customers and enables us to better meet their needs with greater speed and efficiency.”

The branch is scheduled to be fully operational by early September. It will be led by Todd Shumate, a PVF industry veteran with more than 25 years of experience serving markets across West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

“We are committed to reviving the traditional supply house model by providing expert support for customer needs and delivering exceptional service with a focus on same-day fulfillment – delivering today, not tomorrow,” said Shumate, Regional Sales Manager.

He also noted the area’s substantial industry diversity:

“This is a highly diverse market. Key industries we serve include OEMs, petroleum refining, oil and gas distribution, chemical processing, manufacturing, and power generation – in addition to commercial mechanical contractors.”

To support the branch’s inventory demands, The Macomb Group will leverage its 300,000 square-foot distribution center in Willoughby, Ohio, ensuring deep stock levels and reliable, efficient resupply for customers across the region.

This new location is another key step in The Macomb Group’s strategic expansion, focused on responsiveness, market specialization, and strengthening relationships across vital industrial and commercial sectors.
