Minnesota Twins fire general manager Terry Ryan

Front office changes are underway in Minnesota. Monday afternoon the Twins announced GM Terry Ryan has been relieved of his duties after 16 total years on the job. Assistant GM Rob Antony will take over GM responsibilities on an interim basis.

"The decision to part ways with Terry was difficult, painful and not obvious," said Twins owner and CEO Jim Pohlad in a statement. "We are extremely grateful and very thankful to Terry, his wife Karilyn and their family for being a part of the Minnesota Twins."
