Mike Quade will not return as manager of the Rochester Red Wings, the Twins’ Class AAA affiliate.
Quade, 60, told The Democrat and Chronicle that he would be a roving outfield instructor for the Twins’ minor league system, at his request.
The Twins have not announced a replacement for Quade, who managed at Rochester for three seasons and was 238-192 (.553).
“I love managing but at this point in my career, this works out well,” Quade told pickinsplinters.com. “You couldn’t have gotten me to do this 10 years ago. But now, this gives me a little more down time.”
