| 8/13/24 | RHP Zebby Matthews set to debut for Twins vs. Royals. Zebby Matthews was preparing to throw a bullpen session for Triple-A Saint Paul on Sunday when his manager, Toby Gardenhire, called an impromptu team meeting. Matthews wondered what the meeting was all about. "I knew something was up," Matthews said, "but I didn't know what was going on, to be honest."

| 9/03/23 | Saints' crazy week ends with eight-run, extra-inning loss. Saints manager Toby Gardenhire has talked often about how unpredictable and fluid things can get in Triple-A baseball, particularly in September. The Saints' 14-6, 10-inning loss to Columbus on Sunday at CHS Field might be the best example of that Gardenhire will ever see, and the Clippers' eight-run 10th only begins to tell the story. In his own dizzying version of “Who's on First,” Gardenhire has seen his job become complicated by the need to determine who's available and who's not — something he finds himself doing on a daily basis now that the calendar has flipped to September. “Some weeks are crazier than others,” Gardenhire said.

| 8/09/23 | 'He flies': Saints like what they see in outfielder DeShawn Keirsey, starting with his speed. Outfielder DeShawn Keirsey is one of three players recently called up from Double-A Wichita by the Saints, and the first thing that jumps out while watching him is his speed. “He flies,” Saints manager Toby Gardenhire said of the Twins' fourth-round pick in the 2018 draft. The 26-year-old native of San Diego has had a combined 73 stolen bases for Wichita this season and last, showing no signs of the horrific injury in 2017 that nearly ended his career. Playing in the last game of his sophomore season at the University of Utah, Keirsey suffered a fractured and dislocated hip when he ran into the outfield wall.

| 4/22/23 | Ober is day's big winner as Saints rout RailRiders. The St. Paul Saints' clubhouse celebration following Saturday afternoon's 11-6 win over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders at CHS Field had just died down when manager Toby Gardenhire gathered the team again to do something that never gets old: share the news that another player was going to “The Show.” This time it was starting pitcher Bailey Ober, who was told that he was being called up by the Twins, a moment that already has been experienced this season by fellow pitchers Louie Varland, Simeon Woods Richardson and Brent Headrick. “It was pretty exciting,” Ober said when asked his reaction. Ober said the news did not catch him by surprise. Source: https://www.twincities.com/2023/04/22/ober-is-days... |
| 4/06/23 | Amid chilly home opener, Gardenhire, Saints optimistic for new season. Toby Gardenhire has had to wait a couple extra days for the first home game of his third season as manager of the St. Paul Saints. Minnesota's extended and seemingly never-ending Winter of 2022-23 forced postponements the first two nights of scheduled openers. The Saints opening day roster is loaded with pitching. Depth in the Twins organization has MLB veterans like Randy Dobnak, Bailey Ober and Trevor Megill pitching alongside other players on the verge of breaking out – like Simeon Woods Richardson, Jordan Balazovic and St. Paul's-own Louie Varland.

| 3/29/23 | Saints manager Toby Gardenhire: New pitching rules will mean busy base paths. Get ready for some action on the base paths, Toby Gardenhire said. There's the addition of the pitch clock and new limits the times a pitcher can disengage from the rubber during a single at-bat. “You're going to see a lot more stuff in the big leagues that you've never seen before,” the St. Paul Saints manager said Wednesday as his Triple-A team congregated in advance of the team's first series this weekend in Toledo. Triple-A teams played under the rule, and the new pitch clock, last season and the Saints' stolen base totals went from 76 in 2021 to 136 in 2022.

| 8/18/22 | Neal: Gardenhire’s antics helped keep the Twins clubhouse loose. Ron Gardenhire was sitting in his Oakdale home this week with his three children and three grandchildren. And, big surprise, he was up to shenanigans. "This morning when I was over at the house, he had my sister's baby, River," said Toby Gardenhire, his son and current St. Paul Saints manager. "And he was pretending to give River some Mountain Dew." When Gardenhire's daughter, Tiffany, snapped ... Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/neal-gardenhire-antics-he... |
| 4/15/22 | Saints' Cole Sands impressing and ready to prove Twins right. Toby Gardenhire was early into his stint as manager of the Twins’ affiliate in the Florida State League in 2019 when a 21-year-old right-handed pitcher caught his eye. He needed to see only a few pitches from Cole Sands, drafted by the Twins in the fifth round out of Florida State a year earlier, to conclude that Sands had a chance to one day pitch in the major leagues.

| 5/12/21 | Two recent Twins demotions lead Saints past Iowa. Through nine games this season, the St. Paul Saints’ fortunes have fallen in lockstep with their offensive performance. In their six losses they’ve managed just nine runs, and after a 6-1 win on Wednesday over the Iowa Cubs, the team has scored 24 runs in their three wins. We have a bunch of guys who can really hit and you’re going to see some lopsided numbers when we connect with a bunch of homers like we did tonight,” Saints manager Toby Gardenhire said.
