Toby Gardenhire retires to coach at UW-Stout

Hat tip to Aaron Gleeman, who had it in his Twins notes this morning. Everyone's favorite go-to guy for nepotism accusations has hung up his cleats and taken over as head coach of the Wisconsin-Stout Blue Devils.

I was always a fan of Toby (I watched him play for the Rochester Honkers for a few summers), and it's too bad he never got his token cup of coffee in the majors, but it's good to see that he's managed to stay involved in baseball.

I look forward to him taking over the Twins' managerial reins from Jake Mauer in 2027.

At least we still have Jake Mauer

If he becomes a coach or Manager for the Twins while Joe is still playing, Joe will have traumatic flashbacks tot heir childhood. I can see him being punished with noogies, atomic wedgies, wet willies, even the dreaded Rear Admiral whenever he has a lousy game.
