Buzz: Willie’s Job Prospects

by Mike Nichols on October 16th, 2008 at 7:16 am

In his most recent Midweek Insider column for Newsday, Ken Davidoff reports on the possible job prospects for former Mets Manager Willie Randolph.

According to Davidoff, Nationals General Manager Jim Bowden is interested in hiring Randolph as Manager Manny Acta’s bench coach or third-base coach.

In his report, Davidoff notes the Mets ‘regard Acta as a future managerial star,’ and cites an ‘official from an American League club,’ saying the Mets only gave Jerry Manuel a two-year contract due to their affection for Acta.

Davidoff also reports the Brewers have interviewed Randolph for their current managerial opening.

…i trust the creditability of davidoff’s report, but the whole thing sounds like a Dylan-Brenda-and-Kelly-90210-style love triangle…
