It sounds like the Minnesota Twins front office could make some changes to the coaching staff this offseason. GM Terry Ryan said Sunday that he had some tough decisions to make over the next week. All of the field staff's contracts expire after this season except for manager Ron Gardenhire. The list includes pitching coach Rick Anderson, hitting coach Joe Vavra, third-base coach Steve Liddle and first-base coach Ron White. Gardenhire said he has all the faith that they can do the job, but some of these things aren't going to be left up for me, it's going to be left to ownership and the general manager.
