That didn't take long. Padres quickly name their former AAA manager as the new skipper.
One day after firing long time manager Bud Black, the Padres have settled on a new manager for who will take the reins for the remainder of the season. They have hired their AAA manager, Pat Murphy, to do the job. Shortly after Black's dismissal it was rumored that Murphy was in San Diego. Some speculated that he would be the new bench coach with Dave Roberts already named as interim manager. However, Roberts' title was even more temporary than it seemed because the Padres press release specified that he would only be in place until a more permanent interim manager was found.
