The interest some members of the Padres front office had in interviewing Buck Showalter for the team’s managerial vacancy waned and ultimately led to his not being considered when it was learned Manny Machado was not a big fan of his former manager.
But the Padres and Jayce Tingler, the manager they did hire, plan to add a couple members of Showalter’s Orioles coaching staff.
Sources inside the organization confirmed the Padres are in the process of hiring Bobby Dickerson and Wayne Kirby, who both worked under Showalter in Baltimore until Showalter was let go after the 2018 season.
