Yankees interview Wedge for opening

Former Cleveland and Seattle manager Eric Wedge has become the second person to interview with the New York Yankees for their managerial opening.

Yankees bench coach Rob Thomson interviewed on Wednesday as a possible successor to manager Joe Girardi.

Now 49, Wedge was a “cup of coffee” player in the majors, getting 86 at-bats over four seasons with Boston (1991-92, 1995) and Colorado (1994) and making 23 appearances behind the plate.

Wedge managed in Cleveland’s minor league system in 1998 and was promoted to big league manager before the 2003 season. He was voted AL Manager in the Year in 2007, when the Indians won the AL Central, beat the Yankees in the Division Series and lost to Boston in a seven-game Championship Series. He was fired in 2009 after seven seasons with a 561-573 record.

Wedge was hired as Seattle’s manager before the 2011 season. The Mariners went 213273 over three seasons before he turned down a one-year contract, leaving his overall record at 774-846. complete Saturday morning.

Rickie Fowler, playing for the first time since the Presidents Cup, was at 10 under with three holes left. The second round was halted for 2 hours, 15 minutes.

“We played a pretty good game, but I’m not here for moral victories. That’s not what I’m about.”
