Me personally, I don’t. And it’s not because I think Pohlad is a liar of any kind, I just think him vowing to bring back Molitor for next season doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll survive it.
Molitor brought the Minnesota Twins back to contention last season with a surprise second-place finish but this season has obviously not gone as well.
If there’s any indication early on that next season will be just as bad, I can’t imagine Pohlad would hesitate to pull the trigger on firing Molitor and starting afresh.
And why not, it’s safe to assume there are probably only a handful of pieces to the puzzle who will be held onto.
