The Minnesota Twins fire pitching coach Pete Maki and assistant pitching coach Luis Ramirez following a disappointing 2025 season. The move comes after the team finishes 25th in MLB in earned run average (ERA), according to Yahoo Sports.
Maki and Ramirez were part of the coaching group retained from former manager Rocco Baldelli’s staff when Derek Shelton was hired for the 2026 season, Yahoo Sports reports. The Athletic adds that Maki and Ramirez are two of five holdovers from Baldelli’s coaching staff. The outlets describe the same personnel change but differ in emphasis: Yahoo Sports focuses on the team’s pitching performance ranking, while The Athletic frames the decision in terms of coaching staff continuity and retention decisions tied to the managerial transition.
