The Pirates have narrowed their search for their next general manager to three candidates, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
Sherman identifies former Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington and Brewers senior vice president and assistant GM Matt Arnold as two of the three finalists. He did not offer a third name.
Arnold, 40, has been an assistant GM for the Brewers since Oct. 14, 2015. He assists general manager David Stearns in Major League operations, roster construction, financial planning, staffing and personnel development, contract negotiations and player personnel decisions.
