Retired right-hander Ryan Pressly has been hired by the Twins, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. According to Declan Goff of SKOR North, Pressly will be working in player development with both major and minor leaguers. Pressly, 37, just announced his retirement as a player a couple of days ago. It seems he doesn't plan to sit by the fire smoking a pipe and reading the paper. He has quickly launched the next stage of his life with this gig with the Twins.

Two-time All-Star reliever Ryan Pressly has retired after a 13-year career in which he collected 117 saves and helped the Houston Astros win the 2022 World Series. "It's bittersweet, but what a ride it's been," Pressly said in a statement announcing his retirement. Pressly, 37, recorded six saves and allowed only one unearned run over 11 innings during Houston's 2022 postseason run. He compiled two saves and gave up just that one unearned run over 5 2/3 innings in the Astros' 4-2 World Series victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
