Throughout this entire manager search process, it has been stated that Mike Shildt and Ryan Flaherty were viewed as the favorites but has that changed? Nobody has reported they aren’t in the race anymore but if President of Baseball Operations AJ Preller was so confident in one of those guys, wouldn’t he have just made the hire already?
News today: Phil Nevin is among the finalists to be named Padres manager, sources say.
Nevin, who attended high school 100 miles north of Petco Park, played 806 games for San Diego during his @MLB career.
