Astros: Top five candidates for manager as we know so far
Of the candidates the Astros have interviewed for their manager position, there are five that stand out.
Astros owner Jim Crane definitely seems to be doing a thorough search for the club’s next manager. After firing AJ Hinch in the wake of the sign stealing scandal, Crane is reported to have interviewed nine candidates (that we know of) and evidently is not rushing to a quick decision.
The candidates all have their positive qualities, but in this tumultuous time for the organization, this isn’t the place for anything less than a home run hire. That doesn’t necessarily mean the hire has to be a fan favorite, it just has to be the right one for the team.
