Gimenez has apparently retired from professional baseball after joining the Dodgers' organization as their game-planning coach ahead of the 2019 season, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.
Gimenez spent a majority of this past year at the Triple-A level, though he did play in 25 major-league games split between the Cubs and Twins. He wound up competing in a total of 386 games across the last 10 seasons and will hang up his cleats with 202 hits, 24 home runs and 89 RBI.
Gimenez was recalled from Triple-A Rochester.
He'll add catcher depth in September and may not get much playing time. Gimenez has spent most of the season at Triple-A, appearing in just 12 games for the Cubs and slashing a brutal .143/.219/.143 before being traded to Minnesota.
