"The Giants interviewed Royals third base coach Vance Wilson as part of their managerial search earlier this month, reports Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Wilson is also a candidate to interview for the Twins' position, Rogers adds. The 52-year-old has worked as K.C.'s third base coach for the past six seasons. He'd spent the preceding two years as bullpen coach, giving him eight seasons on an MLB staff."
"The Royals interviewed him during the hiring cycles that resulted in the Matheny and Quatraro hirings. While Wilson didn't get the top job on either case, Kansas City has valued him enough to keep him on staff through multiple managers. Wilson has never managed in the major leagues, but he has seven seasons of managerial experience in the K.C. farm system. He played parts of eight MLB seasons as a backup catcher with the Mets and Tigers."
