Some nuggets have begun to trickle out Re: the Guardians managerial search, and one of them is somewhat amusing.
We should start with: Terry Francona has officially “stepped down.” Also, he is likely sticking around in the organization, and so is Sandy Alomar—but not as manager. It is a job Alomar does not want, a thing some fans were able to infer from his previous attempts at interim-ing.
Amusingly, there is apparently a list of 45-48(!) candidates. And according to Joel Sherman, one of them is Carlos Mendoza.
Rangers 4, Rays 0
With 19,704 fans on hand to see the Rays play, the Rays played defense like nobody was watching.
