Glen Perkins’ expected retirement after 12 big-league seasons went public in
a most unexpected way Tuesday.
Twins general manager Thad Levine, speaking Monday in St. Cloud on a Twins
caravan stop, reportedly referenced the three-time all-star closer’s
intention to stop playing while answering a question during a fan forum.
According to 1390-AM Granite City Sports, which reported the news late
Tuesday morning, Levine suggested the club would have interest in hiring
Perkins, 34, in a front-office role down the road.
“I didn’t mean to make an announcement on a very personal matter on his
behalf,” Levine told the Pioneer Press in a text message. “I thought that
he had said that he was hanging them up.”
