Twins Hire Jayce Tingler as New Bench Coach

[DJL44]

If he's good at learning from mistakes then the Twins will benefit. I imagine Tingler has spent the last month rehashing the Padres season trying to figure out how to do it differently if he did it over again. At least, I hope he has.

I think a bench coach adds a lot to the culture and the operations of a team. 

There was a good MLB Network feature on Derek Shelton from 2019 that demonstrated how valuable a coach can be to a manager. 

Does it effect the win-loss column much? Maybe. Maybe not. Being prepared certainly doesn't hurt.

Not particularly ecstatic about this hire. That being said, it does fill a need. Losing Mike Bell really seemed to hurt this team, and Tingler (from what I’ve heard from Padres fans) is more suitable as a bench coach than a manager. I’m fine with it.
