Minneapolis — The managerial search has begun.
Tigers general manager Al Avila was the with the team in Minneapolis this weekend to start conducting interviews for the in-house candidates.
Omar Vizquel and Dave Clark were interviewed, and Lloyd McClendon, who has a long history in the organization and with Avila, also will be formally interviewed.
“Going into next week, we will start interviewing guys from outside,” Avila said.
Avila said he won’t make public who he brings in for interviews, but he said the process could go through the month. Clearly, some of the candidates are presently coaching with playoff-bound teams.
