Terry Pendleton interviews for Devil Rays, Dodgers manager positions
The phone of Braves hitting coach Terry Pendleton has been ringing off the hook since the Braves fell to the Astros in the Division Series this year. He interviewed with the management of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for 2 hours on Monday. The Devil Rays are looking to fill their vacancy at manager and have interviewed 6 other candidates (Devil Rays coaches John McLaren, Tom Foley and Billy Hatcher; Billy Evers, the manager of their Triple-A affiliate; former Tigers manager Alan Trammell and Yankees coach Joe Girardi) for the job thus far. The Los Angeles Dodgers have also contacted Pendleton and will interview him for their manager’s position on Wednesday. 5 candidates have already interviewed with the Dodgers for the position: their farm director Terry Collins, their Triple-A manager (and former-Brave) Jerry Royster, the aforementioned Trammell, San Francisco Giants coach Ron Wotus and Cleveland minor league manager Torey Lovullo.
I hope he does get a managerial job. Although Tampa would be a tough place to start. As for Mazzone I wish him well. I don’t think he’ll have the success in Baltimore as he did Atlanta.
