If the Yankees are looking for a young, forward-thinking manager that's ready to embrace analytics and front-office input, plenty of interesting names could roll through the Bronx for interviews.

If general manager Brian Cashman is looking to find something closer to a Joe Torre 2.0 (retread manager looking for a fresh start with real talent), a recently-rumored named could keep coming up.

Pete Mackanin.

Yes, the recently-fired Phillies manager. The 66-year-old is currently moving into a role within the Phillies front office (similar to what the Mets did with Terry Collins), but that hasn't stopped his name from being brought up by YES Network's Michael Kay and WFAN's Sweeny Murti as possible candidates.
