Report: Thad Levine top candidate for Twins GM job

The Minnesota Twins are looking to fill out their front office staff, and they could be adding someone from the Texas Rangers to their organization.

According to multiple reports, Rangers assistant GM Thad Levine is the Twins’ top candidate for general manager. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Jeff Wilson offered this on Tuesday:

The Minneapolis Star Tribune’s LaVelle E. Neal also says Levine is the top candidate for the job.

The Twins earlier this month announced the hiring of 33-year-old Derek Falvey as their president of baseball operations, so any GM such as Levine, would report to Falvey.

The Twins fired GM Terry Ryan in July.
