"I'm at the stage of my life and career where I really want to give something back to the game that I love -- the game that has meant so much to me and done so much for me and my family," Ramirez said in a statement after taking the Triple-A job last May.
The 42-year-old spent the first eight seasons of his 19-year MLB playing career as a member of the Cleveland Indians.
