Story summary

Rocco Baldelli could lose his position with the Dodgers front office after the team's early exit from the postseason. Baldelli joined the Dodgers last December following his firing by the Twins in the middle of the 2025 season. The Seattle Mariners now have a vacancy for their manager, and Baldelli is one of several candidates under consideration, including Joe Espada, Brandon Hyde, and David Ross. Baldelli previously built a relationship with Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers' president of baseball operations, when both were with the Rays. Baldelli led the Twins to 101 wins in his first season (2019) and their first postseason series victory in 19 years during the 2023 campaign.
