The Minnesota Twins will indeed hire Paul Molitor to be their next manager.
After weeks of speculation, the Twins are ready to name Molitor to their managerial position after he spent the 2014 season on the bench for Ron Gardenhire.
Per colleague @1500ESPN_Reusse: Molitor, as expected, will be the choice of the #MNTwins. Sort of figured news would leak this weekend.

Coupled with the Chicago Cubs decision to hire Joe Maddon, there are no managerial positions open in baseball right now. Molitor becomes just the third Twins manager since Tom Kelly took over the team in 1986.
Molitor has no previous managerial service but has been on the Twins bench and in 2004 served as a hitting instructor for Seattle.
