MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reported late Saturday night that Atlanta Braves third base coach Ron Washington is “believed to be under consideration” for the Padres vacant managerial position. Washington was the runner up to Jayce Tingler back in 2019.
Ron Washington, who had a couple aggressive and successful sends as Braves 3B coach in today’s 3-0 win, is believed to be among those under consideration for Padres manager. Wash finished 2nd last time Padres hired a manager.

Washington joined Brian Snitker’s coaching staff back in 2016 and has become a beloved and important part of the team’s success.
