I recently had the chance to chat with Nashville manager Steve Scarsone for my Athletics Farm site. We spoke at First Tennessee Park in Nashville just a few days after pitcher Daniel Mengden was sent back to Triple-A and just a few days before Sounds center fielder Billy Burns was dealt to the Royals.
After spending parts of seven seasons as a big league infielder, Scarsone has now spent eight seasons managing in the A’s minor league system. He’s currently midway through his fourth season managing at Triple-A and his second season in Nashville, where his team currently holds a ten-game lead in its division.
