Latest On Padres’ Managerial Search

By Jeff Todd | October 11, 2019 at 8:53pm CDT

The Padres have made a fair bit of progress in their managerial search, though it remains unclear at this point which direction they’ll go. There’s now added clarity on the handful of serious candidates as well as the interviewing timeline.

It’s now clear that Braves third base coach and former Rangers skipper Ron Washington is a serious possibility. He interviewed today, as Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. It was already known that Brad Ausmus had interviewed as well.

But those aren’t the only candidate to get a sit-down interview. Indeed, Scott Miller of Bleacher Report tweets that quite a few others have already been in to meet with GM A.J. Preller and company.

Rod Barajas and Jayce Tingler were already known to be candidates. They have in fact held interviews, according to Miller. Unlike the two men mentioned already, Barajas and Tingler are each looking for their first opportunity to helm a big-league team.

It may be that the list doesn’t extend beyond those four names. Miller reports that long-time MLB managers Buck Showalter, Joe Girardi, and Mike Scioscia appear not to be part of the ongoing Padres search. Whether there are more candidates still under consideration beyond those isn’t yet clear.

          The tigers had one of the most stacked rosters ever under Ausmus and didn’t do anything with it. The Angels had high expectations this year and ended up not being good. Ausmus is not the guy

    If it is indeed Ausmus he does have a familiarity with the Padres as he was a special assistant to Preller.
    If they go with Washington they’d get a tough manager who has a previous experience with Preller as well as the two teamed up in Texas

      Wash can teach them how to play good infield defense, how to cheat on their wives while they are on the road, and how to lay out a line.

        The aforementioned cocaine and sexual assault issues. Plus he’s anti-analytics and people have been banging the Preller-Rangers drum nonstop since he was hired and it’s beyond played out at this point.

          Is he really “anti-analytics,” or does he just not believe it’s the holy grail of baseball? There’s a difference. Even the so-called “old school” guys used analytics to some degree.

          How many did he apply for? Maybe he just needed or wanted a couple of years to prove he cleaned up his act? To say the “game has passed him by” sounds like something that would be said by an arrogant elitist saberist.

          I’m no Wash fan, but come on.

          As for the cocaine, he tested positive ONCE a decade ago now. He underwent treatment and has never tested positive again. Do you really want to hold it against him? The positive test result should have never been released to the public anyways.

          As for the “sexual assault”. It was reported by one fairly obscure source and we never heard of it again. There was no legal or civil action. There was no police report. No further details ever emerged. The issue should be considered dead and baseless.

          But it was released to the public. And yes I do want to hold it against him.

          You also left out the part about him cheating on his wife, being anti-analytics and that people need to stop banging the Preller-Rangers drum.

          You don’t have to look very hard to put the pieces together. He resigned from the Rangers before the season was over, a week later news broke of the sexual assault accusations, and then news about cheating on his wife.

          His personal life had a negative effect on his job ONCE, they should take that into consideration when hiring him, they would be foolish not to.

      It looks like we already know Preller’s intimidated by Showalter, Girardi, Maddon, and even Soscia. That only leaves candidates he feels he can control like sock puppets. I just don’t see him going with a strong personality as his manager.

    Just think with Washington’s baggage the Braves had no problem handling the criticism and the negative backlash but they cave in for some obvious showmanship from a scrub bullpen arm of the Cards.
    Not to say the tomahawks not being passed out was the reason for the meltdown it was clearly a factor. Having the visiting team dictate what goes on in your ballpark at an elimination game ???
    Took the fans right out the game. 10 run first kept them out. Team wanted to be politically correct I would have no problem doing something over the offseason but up til that point you gotta ride with it. 28 yrs of doing the chop another 2 weeks wouldn’t have bothered anybody more than it already had.
    If dude was so offended why didn’t he say anything after game 1 or 2 ??? Was it a coincidence he opened his mouth before game 5 ???

      I’ve heard some galaxy-brained takes from fans explaining why their team lost before, but claiming that fans not being able to do a racist chant is what made the team lose is a supernova of asininity.

    When a multiple offense cocaine user and serial adulterer is one of the leading candidate for manager, your team is in trouble. Ausmus? Serial loser.

    What happened to hiring experienced winners? Did Joe Maddon, Buck Showalter, Joe Girardi, and Mike Scioscia turn the Padres down flat?

    John Farrell gets no love at all. Brad Ausmus gets an Interview before they even mention Farrell. Idc If he had connections.

    John Farrell won a World Series. Hire whoever you want to….but You should at least Interview a candidate with more World Series Rings as a MLB Manager than YOUR ENTIRE FRANCHISE HISTORY (and he has another one as a Pitching Coach).

    Ron Washington should probably get the job (as a Braves fan I’m a little biased towards Washington being the best).

    The Angel’s are gonna at least give him a look b4 they hire the best manager in baseball. Guess he isnt good enough for San Diego’s consideration tho.

          On Bochy: So he told you this?
