MINNEAPOLIS -- After leading the Twins to a surprise run to the 2017 AL Wild Card Game one season after losing 103 games, Paul Molitor signed a three-year contract to remain Minnesota's manager through the 2020 season, the club announced Monday.
Molitor, whose three-year contract expired after the season, had been negotiating with chief baseball officer Derek Falvey and general manager Thad Levine since Wednesday. Falvey and Molitor will meet with the media on Tuesday. There still could be changes to the coaching staff.
Molitor, a candidate for the American League Manager of the Year Award, guided the Twins to a franchise-record 26-win improvement from last season, becoming the first team to go from losing more than 100 games to the postseason the following season.
