"The Rangers kind of cheated by having an in-house replacement ready to go as soon as Bruce Bochy bailed. The Angels zagged and hired Kurt Suzuki, while the Giants went totally off-script and pulled Tony Vitello from the college coaching ranks into the fire. With Baltimore apparently settled, that leaves the Padres, Twins, Braves, Rockies, and Nationals looking for a dugout honcho."
"My question is, with the dominoes falling-ish in recent weeks, when is it going to end? The Braves may be waiting for Danny Lehmann's availability after the conclusion of the World Series, or may be doing something completely different that has nothing to do with the Dodgers but is taking a while to roll through anyway. The Nationals and Twins are actively engaged in interviewing candidates and narrowing their lists."
Nine managerial openings existed at season's end, and five vacancies will remain after Baltimore fills its position. The Rangers installed an in-house replacement immediately after Bruce Bochy left. The Angels hired Kurt Suzuki, and the Giants elevated college coach Tony Vitello. Remaining managerial searches include the Padres, Twins, Braves, Rockies, and Nationals. The Braves might delay their hire pending Danny Lehmann's availability following the World Series. The Nationals and Twins are actively interviewing and narrowing lists. The Rockies must find a general manager before selecting a manager, likely making them the last to complete the hiring process.
