Minnesota Twins, Saints Announce Triple-A Manager
The Minnesota Twins named Toby Gardenhire, the son of longtime Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, to manage the St. Paul Saints.
Toby's Father Ron was the manager for the Minnesota Twins for 13 years and won a World Series Championship and also managed the Detroit Tigers for 3 years before retiring due to illness according to the Baseball-Reference website. Toby told the Pioneer Press it is a dream of his to manage in the Twins organization and to manage the Saints. Toby played in the Twins organization too from 2005 to 2011.
The Pioneer Press says this job will reunite Gardenhire with players he managed then-Class A Advanced Fort Myers Miracle. The Twins were set to send him to the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings but COVID-19 took down the season. Once the Twins acquired the St. Paul Saints, they earmarked that job for Toby.
