Last night, Kevin Cash released the following statement regarding the hiring of Rocco Baldelli as the new Twins manager, and Charlie Montoyo for the same position with the Blue Jays:
“Charlie and Rocco are two quality individuals who have served the Rays organization for a long time. They build solid relationships with players, understand how to earn their trust and have impacted many players’ careers for the better. In the four years we spent together, they were both instrumental in helping me on a daily basis. Each one is very deserving of this opportunity, and I wish them well.
