Padres Interview Bob Henley For Managerial Position

By Anthony Franco | October 15, 2019 at 10:17pm CDT

In their search for an Andy Green replacement, the Padres conducted an interview with Nationals third base coach Bob Henley, reports Jon Heyman of MLB Network (via Twitter). This is the first we’ve heard of interest in Henley, who has been the Nats’ third base coach since the start of the 2014 season. Notably, Henley has survived two managerial changes in that time, perhaps reflecting an ability to adapt to the differing leadership styles of Matt Williams, Dusty Baker and now Dave Martinez.

Henley is something of a franchise lifer for the National League champs. His only big league playing experience came with the 1998 Expos, with whom he got into 41 games. Solid MLB numbers notwithstanding, Henley was done as a player by age 30, when he took over as a rookie ball manager in Montreal’s farm system. Henley remained with the franchise upon its move to D.C. and accrued six more years of managerial experience at the lowest levels. Henley transitioned to front office work in 2010, taking over as minor-league field coordinator. After four years in the role, he got his first shot at a big league dugout as Williams’ third base coach, and he’s held that position ever since.

The Padres have cast a wide net in their search for a new manager. In addition to Henley, they’ve spoken with Braves third base coach Ron Washington, former Angels manager Brad Ausmus, Padres interim manager Rod Barajas, and Rangers field coordinator Jayce Tingler. It’s a varied group, as Washington and Ausmus have ample big league managerial experience, while Barajas had none until taking over the Pads’ dugout for the season’s final eight games in the wake of Green’s dismissal. Tingler joins Henley as having no MLB managerial experience, although both (as well as Barajas) have minor-league managing experience. Tingler and Henley have also held active roles in player development departments, which could be especially useful to a Padre club rife with young talent throughout the organization.

    Congrats to the Nationals on winning the pennant. The Mariners are now the only team to never play in a World Series

      Who is Don? Like Don Mattingly? He is already locked in and extended as the Marlins manager. Did you mean Ron? Like Ron Washington?

          I am glad to see that the Padres are getting to THE HEART OF THE MATTER as far as this managerial situation goes.

    Do robots and computers have equal rights yet? Why not get a computer algorithm to manage the team? They could save the salary.

    If computers don’t have rights, then I think it’s time to stage a protest. Who has good penmanship and can help me write some signs with big letters and clever sayings?

    Bob Henley is Don Henley’s brother. Don is wondering where the boys of summer have gone.

      If they ban all non-Eagles music for walk-up/at-bat songs, I don’t think that’ll go over well in the clubhouse.

    Not a single proven winner in the group. Do Padres fans feel lied to?

      Many would call Washington a “proven winner” although I’d personally rather have this Henley fella as the next manager than Washington.

      Who would you over spend on? Maddon, the guy is divisive,and overall a loser. Girardi?

        Honestly Girardi is not a bad choice. He won a ws and like 5 division titles in a time the red soxs won 3 ws. His last game was game 7 ALCS…just sayin..

      I saw it explained perfectly the other day. The Padres have stayed away from Showalter, Girardi, Maddon, and Scioscia. All these guys have strong personalities and would refuse to be AJ’s puppet. So no matter who the next manager is, will it really even be them that sucks? Or will it be AJ ruining it behind the scenes? I think they have proven with these interviews that it’s going to go badly no matter what. Although we’d have a chance with Washington

    winning WS when your team spends $250 mil on payroll does not a great Manager make… winning WS with a payroll under $175mil.. now that is a great Manager.. (a la AJ Hinsch)

      Payroll has little to do with it. Payroll often is a reflection on how many players you have or do not have under club control (cheap) or in early arbitration.

    If these are the choices…please Preller hire Barajas. Bochy leaves, Giants win 3 WS, Black leaves, takes Rockies to 2018 wild card, Roberts leaves takes Dodgers to two consecutive WS appearances…

    Barajas knows these players, deserves a shot.
