Twins owners and executives are self-serving aholes and everyone knows it.
Mollie wants to teach/coach/manage.
Twins wanted to make it look like they wanted to keep Mollie.
He decided that he didnt want to be the VP of looking out the window.
Twins will be losers for decades to come.
Molitor may want to teach/coach/manage, but too many of the young guys regressed on his watch. He tended to be more concerned with getting playing time for washed-up/has-been (or never-was) vets than with getting young guys experience, and his bullpen usage was horrendous.
I like the offer to keep him around the organization. The Twins have a lot of guys they keep in the family without a specific role, and he's a Minnesota guy (even if his MLB career was mostly Milwaukee.) If he wants to be more than a figurehead, he'd make a good roving instructor who works with specific guys on specific topics.
I hadn't heard that he declined the offer. If he did, I would guess that it's always open in some form.

This is unusual. usually, you kick the manager upstairs, the way the twins did with Molitor. Usually the kick upstairs is for guys who have been with the team for a long, long time (usually in more than one role) or who are in the HoF. Molitor is in the HoF and is from St. Paul, played at the U of Minn, and finished his playing career with the Twins.

The Rays had the same won-lost record as the Braves. All it got them was third place.
I despise the Red Sox.

Maybe if he'd taken George's advice more often.
