Some potential general manager candidates for the Minnesota Twins, who fired Terry Ryan this week, have begun to emerge.

Jon Heyman reports that Thad Levine of the Texas Rangers, Peter Woodfork and Kim Ng of Major League Baseball, Alex Anthopoulos and Josh Byrnes of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Ben Cherington have been linked to the job.

If the Twins stay in house, they could look at Wayne Krivsky.
