Nelson Cruz, who bashed 163 career home runs for the Seattle Mariners over four seasons, has a new role within Major League Baseball. Here's what the now-retired slugger will be doing.
Nelson Cruz named as a special consultant for MLB, working specifically with Latin American countries. What a great hire. One of the best people and most respected players of the past two decades. Loved covering him in 2014.
Cruz said: “I’m extremely happy to join Major League Baseball. Since I signed out of the Dominican Republic as a teenager, I’ve cared deeply about the issues affecting that country, and the game as a whole. I’m excited to work with the Commissioner’s Office and the opportunity to work with young players by sharing what I have learned since I signed in 1998.”
