CHICAGO -- Outgoing Brewers general manager Doug Melvin has submitted to owner Mark Attanasio a list of internal candidates to consider for the job, but is keeping the names private to avoid issues of office politics.
"What you don't want is people saying, 'Well, I see that name on the list. Why isn't my name on the list?'" Melvin said. "We've got a lot of very good people who work in this organization and have been part of what we've done. They know the organization."
Attanasio said he already has 30-plus names under consideration, including outside candidates, inside candidates and a handful of individuals from industries outside baseball.
