Coaching career
Liddle was hired as the bench coach of the Minnesota Twins in January 2002 as part of new manager Ron Gardenhire's staff.[1][2] He served as the bench coach from 2002–2010 before swapping roles with Scott Ullger and becoming the Twins' third base coach for 2011 and 2012.[3] In October 2012, after two 96 plus losing seasons, it was announced Liddle's contract would not be renewed, thus ending his stint in Minnesota.[4]
On November 2, 2017, Liddle was named the bench coach for the Detroit Tigers for the 2018 season, a role he previously had with Ron Gardenhire and the Twins.[5] After the 2019 season, Liddle retired and was succeeded by Lloyd McClendon.[6]
