After the Minnesota Twins completed a colossal collapse to end the 2024 season it was expected there would be a shakeup. Both Derek Falvey and Rocco Baldelli were brought back, but changes to the coaching staff came. Dave St. Peter is out at the top, and Thad Levine is gone as well. With a few vacancies needing to be addressed on the field, there is now resolution.

Minnesota Twins hitting coach rounds out his help

Matt Borgschulte spent multiple years in the Twins organization before taking over as the Baltimore Orioles hitting coach. When the franchise decided to fire David Popkins and shake up the hitting staff, a familiar name made plenty of sense. Initially though, only Borgschulte was announced as part of Rocco Baldelli’s staff.

Trevor Amicone comes to Minnesota as Borgschulte’s top assistant. He was previously employed as the New York Yankees Triple-A hitting coach. Amicone has earned sizable promotions early in his career and he blitzed the Yankees system as a notable name.

I have been told by multiple Yankees sources that Amicone is an exceptional mind and a good get for the Twins. That would seem to be reflected in his meteoric rise as a coach. It would be awesome to see him provide a quick impact with Minnesota.

After Borgschulte operated as a co-hitting coach for Baltimore, he’ll have two assistants as the lead man in Minnesota. Rayden Sierra is joining the big league team after working as the minor league assistant hitting coordinator. This is his fifth season with the organization.

It remains to be seen how the message will differ from what Popkins preached. Borgschulte is well-respected by plenty of young talent already on the big league roster.

Hank Conger switches roles for Minnesota

Last season it was Hank Conger and Tommy Watkins on the corners as the Twins 1st and 3rd base coaches. The former now moves to the dugout and joins Jayce Tingler as his assistant. Conger, who has 373 games at the big league level playing catcher, will work with Minnesota’s catchers as well.

Twins announced a bunch of coaching hires and role changes.

Matt Borgschulte and assistants Trevor Amicone and Rayden Sierra are the new hitting group.

Ramon Borrego joins after being a longtime manager in the Twins farm system.

Ramon Borrego has spent 21 seasons in the organization and has been a staple. The last four seasons he worked as the manager of Double-A Wichita. He’ll take over at first base and work with the infield as well.

There was some thought that Triple-A manager Toby Gardenhire may be elevated to the big league staff. Instead it’s Borrego who makes the leap from Double-A. Wichita will obviously have a new manager for the 2025 season. Third base coach Tommy Watkins keeps his role and will work with the outfield.

The next step of the offseason for Minnesota is to add talent. They may need to shed salary in order to do so, but roster construction is all on Derek Falvey’s plate.
