On June 2nd i sent a card, letter and an sase to Trevor Hoffman c/o of San Diego Padres and yesterday 7/2 received my card unsigned with a standard letter how he appreciates the support but can not sign autographs do to volume of mail. Extremely disappointing he is supposed to be one of the good guys in mlb but what can you say. Sorry no scanner

Trevor retired from the Milwaukee Brewers after last season, His brother Glenn is a coach with the team, but I don't think Trevor is associated with the team in any official capacity. They are going to honor him and retire his jersey at the game on August 21st, but if he's not with the team officially, I doubt the team will be holding his mail. At least they returned your card.

..................... I don't think he's working for the team in any official capacity, as he's not listed anywhere on the team Website, or on the team's organizational page in Baseball America Directory. He has always been a good signer, so I doubt that the "too busy to sign" thing is his idea. The front office probably just doesn't want to deal with the mail.

He is a consultant along with Mark Loretta and a team ambassador he works with minor league players and attends every game. He just chooses not to sign anymore that is his right, its just dissappointing I'm a huge fam

That's too bad. He was always a great signer.
