"Flaherty has ties to both the Padres and Orioles. He spent the majority of his playing career with the O's, appearing in six seasons between 2012-17. Even though neither owner David Rubenstein nor president of baseball operations Mike Elias were part of the organization at that time, Flaherty surely has some connections to the club. He's also a known commodity to the San Diego front office."
"Mike Shildt's decision to step down as San Diego's manager opens an eighth vacancy around the game. Cubs bench coach Ryan Flaherty could be in the mix for at least a couple of those positions. Joel Sherman of The New York Post listed Flaherty and Padres pitching coach Ruben Niebla among those to keep an eye on as potential options to replace Shildt."
Mike Shildt stepped down as San Diego's manager, creating a managerial vacancy. Ryan Flaherty and Ruben Niebla are among potential candidates for San Diego. Flaherty is also considered a top choice for the Orioles while Baltimore has not ruled out Tony Mansolino for the full-time job after his interim stint. Neither Flaherty nor Niebla has confirmed interviews, and the Padres are in early stages of the process. Flaherty spent much of his playing career with the Orioles, began coaching with the Padres, and currently serves as the Cubs' bench coach. Niebla has developed a reputation as a top pitching coach.
