Cross Jim Rigglemen off the list as being a potential manager of the Mariners next year. Rigglemen has signed on to be the Nationals bench coach. Jack Z obviously has already told Rigglemen he is not interested in him for manager. During the press conference Jack Z hinted that he didn’t want a 1st time manager but wanted a person who has had managerial experience. The clear early favorite to be manager has to be Ned Yost who was fired by the Brewers with only 12 games to go in the season. Jack Z mentioned how he and Yost have a good relationship with each other. Ned Yost has also said he would be interested in the Mariners job, “Definitely, most definitely,” Yost said in an interview on Thursday. “The opportunity to work with Jack again is really, really appealing.”
