Mike Shildt and Ryan Flaherty reportedly aren't the only candidates the San Diego Padres are considering for their managerial opening.
According to Dennis Lin and Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic, Benji Gil and Phil Nevin "are among the external candidates who are in various stages of the interview process" even though Shildt and Flaherty "continued to be viewed as the favorites for the job."
What's more, Ghiroli noted Eric Chavez is "no longer expected to be in the mix."
