Loons Pilot Collins Picked as RCLW's Best Monday, October 26th , 2026 When Jaden Collins was hired to lead the Minnesota (R) Loons, fans were expecting improvement over the last manager. Today, flanked by team officials, Collins accepted the RCL West Manager of the Year Award, noting the level of passion for the Minnesota (R) Loons. "The biggest challenge was the fans. I don't know how many times I was asked, if I thought the club was good enough. It was as if they expected failure. It was much easier to win over the ballplayers. Slowly but surely the fans began to believe in us." Collins led Minnesota (R) to a first place finish in the RCL West. The Loons ended up with a 68-42 record. Collins is looking forward to the offseason. "We're reviewing our options. You never stand still in baseball. You either get better or worse, 'cause everyone else is out to get your free agents or deal for your prospects. It's going to be a challenge." But the skipper has more than proven he is equal to the task. |
