Manager Notes: Red Sox, Maddon, Martinez, La Russa

By Mike Axisa | October 27, 2011 at 4:10pm CDT

Let's round up some manager links as we wait for Game Six of the World Series…

  • Torey Lovullo and Joe McEwing aren't on Ben Cherington's initial list of interview candidates for the Red Sox manager's job, reports Joe McDonald of ESPN Boston.  "Among those expected to get some consideration" from the Sox include DeMarlo Hale, Sandy Alomar Jr., Ryne Sandberg, Dave Martinez and Pete Mackanin.  McDonald also lists Ken Macha and Terry Pendleton as longer-shot possibilities.
  • Dale Sveum and Tim Wallach are also mentioned as candidates by Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald.  Lauber also reports that Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux "is interested in becoming a manager."
  • "Honestly, I love where I work and who I work with," said Rays manager Joe Maddon when asked by WEEI.com's Rob Bradford about pursuing another manager's job elsewhere. "For me it isn't always about money. I really am humbled by that thought, but at the end of the day I am a Ray and I want to be a Ray."
  • Maddon went on to say that Dave Martinez, his bench coach with the Rays, is "ready in the dugout, for sure," but he could have a tough time adjusting to the media responsibilities that come with being the manager of a big market team, like most people would.
  • In another WEEI.com piece, Alex Speier passed along a quote from Jack Sands, agent for Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, who appeared on the Dennis & Callahan Show last week. “Tony loves Boston,” said Sands. “Many years ago, he was really thinking this might be a place he might like to come to. … When he first came over to St. Louis, he really was an American League guy. He loved the DH. But now, he loves the double switches. We’ve seen what’s happened in the playoffs. He loves working that bullpen. So I seriously doubt that he would come back to the American League at this point.”

    Maddon wants to keep his dugout management in place with the comment Martinez may have difficulty with the media.
    The Rays must have some pretty talented scouting people in addition to other pitching coaches that are doing a great job with the players they are drafting. I think if I were BenCh I would look to some of the personnel to bring to the Sox.
