MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Minnesota Twins have hired Tom Brunansky as their hitting coach, Bobby Cuellar to be the bullpen coach and
Terry Steinbach as a bench coach and catching instructor.
The staff changes were finalized on Monday.
Brunansky, the right fielder on Minnesota’s 1987 World Series
championship team, was the hitting coach for Triple-A Rochester
this year, and Cuellar was the pitching coach.
Steinbach has been a guest spring training instructor but not a full-time coach until now.
The native of New Ulm, Minn., and former University of
Minnesota star played three of his 14 major league seasons with the
Twins.
Cuellar has been a minor league coach for the Twins organization
for nine years. He’s credited with helping two-time Cy Young Award
winner Johan Santana develop his trademark changeup.
