Minnesota Twins reshuffle front office: St. Peter steps aside, Falvey adds CEO duties, Zoll now GM

The Minnesota Twins have announced a restructuring of the front office, the latest move in an already eventful offseason.

It’s been just six weeks since Minnesota’s season ended in disappointing fashion, following an epic collapse over the final two months of the season.

Since then, the Pohlad family, which has owned the franchise for the past 40 years, announced plans to sell the club; the team locked in a new TV broadcasting plan and re-upped its radio deal; the Twins parted with its old hitting coaches and hired a new one; general manager Thad Levine left the organization; and now the club is reshuffling the front office.

As part of the latest changes, announced Tuesday morning, longtime Twins president and CEO Dave St. Peter is stepping aside and moving into a strategic advisory role, president of baseball operations Derek Falvey is adding president of business operations to his title, and Jeremy Zoll is being promoted to senior vice president and general manager.

St. Peter has been the club president for the past 22 years, playing a key role in the building of Target Field and many of the organization’s business fronts, including bringing the 2014 MLB All-Star Game and 2022 NHL Winter Classic to the stadium.

“I am incredibly grateful to the Pohlad family – especially Carl, Jim and Joe – for their unwavering support and belief in me as a leader,” St. Peter said in a statement. “I look forward to shifting into an advisory role for the family in the months to come, while I am equally excited about partnering with Joe and Derek Falvey to move our business forward and ensure a seamless transition. Derek has universal respect across our organization and industry, he is ready for this additional challenge and can help push the Twins to new heights. He is the right leader at the right time.”

Falvey was hired to lead the Twins baseball operations in 2016 and has helped modernize that department of the club. During his tenure, the Twins have reshaped on-field priorities, won three division titles, made four trips to the postseason, and have built one of the game’s highest-ranked player development systems, although that has yet to translate into much postseason success.

“I am incredibly honored and excited to take on these expanded responsibilities, and I’m deeply grateful to Jim, Joe and the entire Pohlad family for their trust and support as we move forward,” said Falvey. “Working alongside such a thoughtful ownership family and an exceptional leadership team is a privilege I don’t take lightly.”
