Twins general manager Terry Ryan diagnosed with cancer

terry ryan twins

Twins general manager Terry Ryan has been diagnosed with cancer and will undergo treatment at the Mayo Clinic, the team announced in a statement.

Ryan was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in his neck following a routine physical exam and will not be with the team in Florida when spring training begins, but issued a quote to the media saying:

I’ve been assured this form of cancer is treatable and remain optimistic about my return to good health in the near future.

Ryan is in his second stint as Twins general manager and ranks as one of the longest-tenured, most respected GMs in baseball. He’s one of the most genuine, straight-up people you’ll ever meet, whether he’s dealing with mainstream media, fans, or even lowly bloggers. Here’s hoping he beats the hell out of cancer.
