Royals Rumblings - News for October 10, 2018
In his Mellinger Minutes, Sam Melliner considers who the next Royals manager will be.
My friend Derrick Goold was first to the scene on the Royals’ interest in Mike Matheny. Not that Derrick needs it, but I can confirm the interest. There will be other names that come up, too, and they don’t necessarily have to check every box.
If someone like Raul Ibañez was interested, for instance, the Royals might look past their desire for someone with previous experience.
There was a time I wondered if Pedro Grifol or Jason Kendall were being “groomed,” and each would be interesting choices if they wanted the job, but I don’t think that’s happening.
