SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Padres hired Arizona Diamondbacks third base coach Andy Green as their new manager, two people with knowledge of the situation said Thursday.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the team wasn't scheduled to announce the hiring until 3 p.m. PT Thursday at Petco Park.
Green takes over a team that underachieved despite general manager A.J. Preller's aggressive offseason roster makeover. The Padres finished 74-88 and fourth in the NL West, 18 games behind the division champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
