Twins News: Derek Falvey joins Mets, Alex Jackson outrighted, season nearing end

The Minnesota Twins are concluding their 2026 season with a final home series against the Texas Rangers at Target Field. Although Minnesota is eliminated from postseason contention, the matchup carries major playoff stakes because Texas is tied with the Houston Astros for first place in the American League West.

Off the field, the New York Mets officially hired former Twins president Derek Falvey as Senior Advisor, Baseball Operations. Falvey will work under Mets president David Stearns, reuniting after previously working together with the Cleveland franchise.
