Mientkiewicz, 40, was drafted by the Twins in 1995, and manned first base for them from 1999 to 2004, a run that concluded with three straight AL Central division titles. In his time with the club he hit .275/.367/.408 with 43 home runs and 146 doubles.
Mientkiewicz, who retired as a player in 2009, currently manages the Twins' High-A affiliate the Fort Myers Miracle.
