He used the word "bittersweet" in his announcement.  That's the word for this MN fan as well.  Lousy trade.  I liked the concept well enough when it happened, or at least cautiously optimistic, but I'm enough of an admitted second guesser to point fingers and say the team blew it on prospect evaluation and/or development.  Good luck with the next phase, Ryan.

Which will be with the Twins organization.

Accordong to Jon Heyman -"Ryan Pressly, who announced his retirement today, is going to work for the Twins. They also hired Michael A. Taylor, another recent retiree who should easily relate to current Twins. Pressly was one of the most clutch closers in recent times."

I feel like I remember Pressly implying or literally stating Wallner was an easy out during the 2023 playoff series. Honestly, I feel like Pressly might be able to help the Twins hitters more than the pitchers.
