And then there were seven. Seven! That’s how many managerial openings remain after the inevitable hiring of Joe Maddon by the Angels. I swear, that coupling was so obviously happening that when it actually went down, it seemed like no one noticed. Maddon got hired by the Angels? OK.
The World Series starts this week and the managerial musical chairs will come to a halt.
Late last week the online gambling site BetOnline updated their odds for who would fill the remaining managerial openings. The Royals list was about what you would expect.
From @betonline_ag updated odds for next #Royals manager:
Matheny - 3/2
Grifol - 4/1
Sveum - 5/1
Vance Wilson - 5/1
Girardi - 15/2
