I wonder which of all these future managers we talk about (Alomar, Da. Martinez, Sandberg, Ausmus, etc) won’t ever get an opportunity to manage at the big league level. You always hope there’s a spot for them somewhere.

If the Blue Jays don’t give up Farrell, I could see the Red Sox being a lot more interested in Alomar than they were previously. I think a guy like Alomar would be a great fit for them right now. They need a guy with mutual respect, which Alomar, as a former great, will command and give, and who will manage with tact, which you imagine a first year manager and a class act like Alomar would do.
The Marlins will survey the field as well, I imagine, and the Rockies are now looking. And hey, if the Jays do give up Farrell, there’s yet another vacancy. The Phillies will probably part ways with Manuel after next season, it seems, so there’s another. I think there will be plenty of openings in the very near future for this pack.
Further down the road, if the Astros don’t turn it around reasonably quickly, there could be openings in about three years there. Will Dusty Baker’s age and health concerns grow larger? The Reds could be looking in the near future if so. One season out of the playoffs could end Joe Girardi too, in a market like New York. There’s room for all of these guys to get a shot at some point.
