The offseason hasn't begun with regard to rebuilding rosters, but it's certain started when it comes to coaching staves. Joining Matt Williams and his company of coachies in the search for jobs is San Diego interim manager Pat Murphy.

I can live with Wally going to the Padres, but i'll be devastated if he ends up in DC.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports today that the Marlins have interviewed Larry Bowa for their open managing job.

The Nats have asked for and received permission to talk to the Diamondbacks' AAA manager Phil Nevin, also coming with no big league experience, if you value that sort of thing. And indeed, if you do, there is also talk of Don Wakamatsu and Dave Martinez.

Phil Nevin managing? There's no precedent for former #1 picks to manage in the big leagues, is there?

Per Cot's Contracts, Robin Ventura signed a multi-year extension on 01/24/14 which puts him under contract through 2016 with the White Sox.

Hmmm, interesting question. Probably not. Bobby V was a 5th overall. He could be the highest. oe: Nope, Paul Molitor was 3rd overall in 1977 Matt Williams also 3rd (1986)

Mattingly walks away from Dodgers.

Going into a winner-take-all game, at home, with Greinke on the mound, and then getting sunk by the Mets. Getting yelled at by at least two of his players during the game. That's not necessarily the way you wanna go out.

My thoughts, too. Joe Torre couldn't manage in the National League, either. Maybe Don will be better suited to the more simplistic game played in the American League. Later

The Yanquis chose Girardi over Mattingly however many years ago and I don't think they're unhappy with Girardi so, no, I don't expect him to wind up in the Bronx anytime soon (at least not until he's an invited guest at the next number retirement ceremony which should be in a few weeks or so ... and then again a few weeks after that.)

More interesting to me is who gets the Dodger gig. Do they go first-time manager? Give Bud Black another shot at a job in California? A different retread?

Interesting guess. Though I expect they'll be giving Dusty a call, myself.
|
| Frayed Knot Oct 22 2015 11:46 AM Re: 2015-2016 Managerial Shuffle |
|
The thing with the Dodgers is that they're being run now by that ex-TBR guy who inherited Mattingly but would really rather have a manager who's more comfortable with the more Sabermetric kind of stuff they're going to feed him. That as much as anything is what led to a parting of ways.
|
| HahnSolo Oct 22 2015 11:57 AM Re: 2015-2016 Managerial Shuffle |

Maybe Dave Martinez? Worked with Maddon in TB and Chi; Coach in Tampa when Friedman was there; getting raves as a managerial candidate on the Nats board.
|
| Edgy MD Oct 22 2015 01:33 PM Re: 2015-2016 Managerial Shuffle |

Nats, meanwhile, have interviewed two ex-Met infielders from different eras: Ron Gardenhire and Andy Green.

I was thinking he'd end up as some Yankees' coach/advisor/specialist/bloviator rather than manager.

Bob Geren is busy keeping our bench from flying up in the air.

The ex-catcher tradition continues as the Mariners tab former Houston/Cubs/Giants/Rockies backstop Scott Servias as their manager.

1) it's an off day 2) nothing so far sounds like an official announcement and it's tough to legislate against leaks Mainly the 'rule' is in there to prevent Steinbrennerian type of hires timed purposely so as to steal the back page headlines in the largest media market in the country from a Game 7 of a WS that he wasn't in.

Y'mean like Jeter announcing his engagement on Day 1 of a Mets World Series? The fucker. And worse, the reports didn't even say if he gave her a ring or a gift basket. Later PS - I know this is a managerial thread, but the Eleventh Commandment is "Thou shalt never miss an opportunity to take a verbal shot at Jerek Jeter". It was on the third tablet. Ask Mel Brooks. Back to the thread.

Donnie is going to discover that it's very different to manage with a $300 million payroll and then with the Marlins.

But I'm guessing there are more ex-MFY fans in Miami and environs than there are in L.A. They'll remember, and treat him fondly.

Not specifically manager related, but Alex Anthopolous will not return as Toronto GM
|
| Edgy MD Oct 29 2015 01:01 PM Re: 2015-2016 Managerial Shuffle |
|
Wow, that's a tough break. They won a tough-assed division that was totally up-for-grabs at mid-season. But man, they paid for it, and turning the burden of the Josι Reyes deal into the triple burden of the the Troy Tulowitzki package was a hell of a last-minute addition to the ongoing payroll heft.
|
| Frayed Knot Oct 29 2015 06:38 PM Re: 2015-2016 Managerial Shuffle |
|
Apparently Anthopolous was offered a five year extension but turned it down. But the writing for this has been on the wall since the Jays hired former Injun exec Mark Shapiro (the guy depicted as talking trades with Beane/Pitt in the early scenes of MONEYBALL) as team president in August.
|
| Frayed Knot Nov 03 2015 07:14 AM Re: 2015-2016 Managerial Shuffle |

So apparently the Nationals didn't say they were hiring Black, man. What they meant is that they're hiring the black man.

WASHINGTON -- Dusty Baker agreed to a multiyear deal to become the Nationals' new manager on Tuesday.
|
| Edgy MD Nov 03 2015 08:52 AM Re: 2015-2016 Managerial Shuffle |
|
I think about that also, but I was always curious how much we make assumptions about that. We get extreme results like Prior and Wood, and then we follow the breadcrumbs backward to hang their injuries on Baker. But how much of that is coincidence and how much is causality? And are we selecting data to get the result we want?
|

Does this mean that the Nationals get Darren Baker and J.T. Snow too?

I'm all good with LolNats being the thing instead of LolMets. Hell, let's hit other points from the template. Sandy Alderson was "forced" on the Mets. Let's say Dusty Baker was forced on the Nationals. Certainly there were stories this past month about how the number of minority managers in MLB was unacceptably low.

Ventura is signed through 2016. Gibbons has had his option picked up also. Yost signed and extension through 2016 before the season maybe a bad move in retrospect.

Before Alderson collapsed he confirmed the Mets had given the Dodgers the OK to talk with Geren.

Dave Roberts -- of 2004 ALCS SB fame -- hired to run the multi-million dollar outfit that is the Los Angeles Dodgers
And somehow I missed (but have just now added) Andy Green being hired by the Padres to replace Bud Black (who's next, Red Schoendienst? ... Vida Blue? ... Roy White?) This oversight is probably due to the fact that I rarely think about the San Diego Padres and have never heard of Andy Green. Apparently he was the bench coach in Arizona recently. I'll take their word for it. That makes next year's slate complete. Or at least it does until the first firing but that probably won't happen prior to opening day.

| Edgy MD Nov 23 2015 09:48 AM Re: 2015-2016 Managerial Shuffle |

Andy Green = 2009 Met. Appeared in four games and apparently advanced the Mets cause in none of them. The one game in which he got a hit, it was offset by an error, as the Mets were buried 15-2.
