Ron Coomer, the former Twins infielder and Fox Sports North analyst, is convinced the Twins' new leadership structure is "very similar" to that of the 2016 world champion Chicago Cubs.

Coomer returned to the FSN set as a guest during Tuesday night's Wild game to catch up with his old baseball broadcast partner Anthony LaPanta and relive the experience of calling the Cubs' championship run and discuss the future of the Twins.

The Illinois native, who also played one season with the Cubs, has spent the past three years as the color analyst for the Chicago Cubs Radio Network.

Coomer raved about working with the Cubs' well-rounded leadership and believes the Twins' new brain trust has similar qualities.

"It was a rough season for the Twins. But I really like what they've done," Coomer said. "I'll always be a Terry Ryan guy. … But this new group, I've heard nothing but good things."
