The Minnesota Twins parted ways with Thad Levine on Friday after eight years as the club’s senior vice president and general manager.
A team press release said Levine, 52, was leaving “to pursue new challenges and opportunities, both inside and outside of baseball.”
Levine joined the Twins in November 2016 and helped the club capture three American League Central division titles (2019, 2020 and 2023) and four postseason berths. Minnesota finished 82-80 in 2024, missing the playoffs.
“Thad’s impact on the Minnesota Twins cannot be overstated,” team president of baseball operations Derek Falvey said. “He has been a true partner and leader, always striving to elevate the organization and care for the people around him. Thad helped create a strong team culture, one focused on excellence and collaboration, that will continue well into the future. While we will miss his leadership, we are equally excited to see the next chapter of his journey unfold, and we wish him nothing but success in his future endeavors. I want to personally thank him for everything he has done to help us get better every day.”
Before joining the Twins, Levine worked in the front offices of the Los Angeles Dodgers (1998), Colorado Rockies (1999-2005) and Texas Rangers (2006-16).
“I am grateful to the Pohlad family, Derek Falvey and Dave St. Peter for providing me with such a comprehensive leadership opportunity spanning the last eight years of my career,” Levine said. “The time is right for me to pursue my next enriching, professional challenge. I will forever cherish the friendships that I have made in the Minnesota Twins organization and throughout Twins Territory.”
