Hughes was known locally as the scouting director and baseball scout for the Florida Marlins during the 1990s and was a part of implementing a professional roster for the new expansion franchise in 1993. The club eventually won the World Series in 1997 during their fifth season in existence.
He also worked for other organizations in baseball operations. They included the San Francisco Giants, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Montreal Expos, Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies, Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks.
