Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik could name a new manager as soon as Tuesday after deciding not to hold a second round of interviews for the job. Zduriencik instead spoke to his seven candidates a second time by phone over the weekend and planned to spend today mulling over his decision. It's possible he could call a couple of candidates again today, but he believes he has received enough information to make a call without having to see anyone a second time. That means the next Mariners manager will come from a group of DeMarlo Hale, Joey Cora, Chip Hale, Randy Ready, Don Wakamatsu, Jose Oquendo and Brad Mills. If Zduriencik makes his decision today and advises his selected candidate by Tuesday, then an official announcement and news conference would likely be held the following day or Thursday at the latest.

manager is not their problem-
is the GM position stable.....THAT was their biggest flaw

I hope it's not Oquendo. I'd love to see him get a good managing position. This isn't a good position. I've always hoped he'd take over in St. Louis when TLR retires.

I'm thinking it might be Cora given his history with the M's organization and the great tutor he has in Chicago of Ozzie

A load of organized media attempts to throw Manny's name in the mud before one of the biggest paydays in MLB history. Shame on all of you.

"What, you wouldn't want to be the M's manager? You and your buddy there could stand around in the showers after games and get big sloppy eyefuls of tubesteak!"Come again? um.......never understood why people bother posting on this site like this.....Attacking others is the game for some just like this little fellow.......Makes you wonder why people even bother with sports these days if they can`t enjoy.

When you said "Come again" right there ... were you talking to Sugar Glider, or the guy with his stickshift buried in your sphincter?
