Thad Levine believes front-office hiring practices in Major League Baseball and his own organization, the Minnesota Twins, are "flawed."

The Twins held a front-office diversity roundtable on Tuesday as the country tackles racial injustice.

"We've become too reliant on the fact that there are so many candidates that desire to work in baseball. Unintentionally, we've become complacent," Levine said. "Our applicant pool that's flooded our office has been filled with a lot of talent. It's been in large regard homogeneous. We believe that diverse thoughts, life experiences and beliefs inspire a welcoming, inclusive environment and enhances the development of our employees and fuel the growth of the Minnesota Twins organization. All of these words are substantive, we need our actions to be transformational."

The panel is the first in a series the team plans on hosting. The next is scheduled for Aug. 13 with the top women leaders in the Twins' organization.
