The season for Carlos Correa’s Minnesota Twins has been disappointing, and the team is at risk of missing the playoffs. The players’ performance has been questioned, and manager Rocco Baldelli‘s leadership style has faced criticism.
Baldelli has been criticized for his relaxed approach and lack of intensity with the team. Some players and fans have questioned his ability to motivate and lead the Twins.
Shortstop Carlos Correa has expressed concern about the lack of urgency and preparation among some players. Although he did not mention specific names, his comments suggest that there are internal issues within the team, possibly stemming from the manager’s leadership.
“Some guys take it as poison, and some guys take it as fuel,” Correa said, per The Athletic. “The guys who take it as fuel are the ones that always come out on top, have a beautiful career, and stay in the game for a long time. We have a lot of young guys, and many people try to help them, but at the end of the day, everybody has to figure it out on their own.”

Will Baldelli stay as Twins’ manager?
Despite the criticism, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic believes Baldelli will remain the Twins’ manager next season. However, the team will need to show significant improvement in both performance and attitude.
