Minnesota Twins Fill Out Coaching Staff
Twins Hire New First Base Coach, Major League Coach
The Twins filled out their coaching roster today with the hiring of two new coaches, a first base coach and a “major league” coach. Both provide interesting twists in their hirings.
On a day where everyone has been following the Twins due to ramped up trade talks between the Twins and Dodgers, Minnesota instead touted some different “big news” via Twitter:
Jeff Smith has been a long-time Twins minor league coach, starting with the Gulf Coast Twins in 2005. He actually was drafted by the Twins as a catcher 10 years prior, but never made it to the big leagues.
