"Yesterday, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that the Padres were entering the finalist stages of their managerial search. In a new report today, Acee writes that the Padres are down "to no more than four finalists," with Albert Pujols, Padres pitching coach Ruben Niebla, Rangers special assistant Nick Hundley, and potentially an unspecified fourth name still on the radar. A hiring is expected to be made by the end of the week."
"All three of the known candidates would be first-time MLB managers, though the trio have vastly different resumes. Niebla has 25 years of experience as a pitching coach and coordinator at the Major League and minor league levels with San Diego and Cleveland, and he has drawn high praise for his work over his four seasons as the Padres' pitching coach."
The Padres have narrowed their managerial search to no more than four finalists, including Albert Pujols, pitching coach Ruben Niebla, and Rangers special assistant Nick Hundley, with a hiring expected by the end of the week. All three known candidates would be first-time MLB managers with different backgrounds. Niebla has 25 years of pitching-coach and coordinator experience at Major and minor league levels with San Diego and Cleveland and has drawn high praise during four seasons as the Padres' pitching coach. Pujols served as an Angels special instructor, managed in the Dominican Winter League, and is slated to manage the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. Hundley worked in MLB baseball operations and has spent recent seasons as a Rangers special assistant.
