Jim Tracy, with vast managerial experience in the National League West, has emerged as one of the final four candidates for the Arizona Diamondbacks’ managerial opening.
The Diamondbacks are scheduled to announce the hiring of their new manager Monday, and Tracy is the only finalist with major-league managerial experience, according to two high-ranking Diamondbacks officials with direct knowledge of the decision.
The officials, unauthorized to speak publicly since no decision has been made, said the final four candidates are Phil Nevin, manager of Class AAA Reno; Chip Hale, the Oakland Athletics bench coach; and Sandy Alomar Jr., the Cleveland Indians’ bench coach.
