The Minnesota Twins announced today that Cuddyer is one of three that have been hired as special assistants in their baseball operations department. The other two that were hired are Torii Hunter, who was on the Twins from ’97-’07 and LaTroy Hawkins who played for the Twins from ’95-’03. Do these names sound familiar?
Well, they all played together on the Twins for at least a little bit.
As Cuddyer played from the Twins from ’01-11, this hiring makes sense. The Twins chose three long-time players to work within their organization. Additionally, all three of these players retired after the 2015 season.
