The Twins announced the agreement in an emotional press conference, revealing that Puckett will take on a prominent role in player mentorship, organizational outreach, and the promotion of Twins baseball culture at every level.
Baldelli, addressing the media shortly after the news broke, said: “Kirby is more than a legend here — he’s part of the soul of this organization. To have him working directly with our players is something you can’t put a value on.”
Fans immediately flooded social media with tributes, highlight reels, and heartfelt messages recalling Puckett’s fearless defense, powerful bat, and leadership on the field. Many believe his presence will inspire the Twins’ young core as they chase postseason glory.
With this deal, the Twins have not just brought back a legend — they’ve reignited the spirit of an era when Minnesota baseball ruled October.
