Tony Pena Interviews to Replace Joe Torre As Yankees Manager
Tony Pena interviewed for the manager position for the New York Yankees Thursday. Pena served as first-base coach for the Yankees for two seasons under previous manager Joe Torre.
Team officials spoke with Yankees broadcaster Joe Girardi on Monday and bench coach Don Mattingly on Tuesday.
Hank Steinbrenner, son of owner George Steinbrenner, said Thursday that he and ownership would talk with the Yankees' front office in the afternoon at Legends Field in Tampa, Fla.
Yankees baseball operations executives were to come up with a recommendation for the team's top officials, although any decision on a new hire does not appear imminent. That recommendation is likely to carry a lot of weight.
New York was going to consider five or six candidates but Hank Steinbrenner said the team wasn't planning any more interviews.
Pena has the most managerial experience of the candidates, having led the Kansas City Royals for over three seasons. He was voted AL Manager of the Year in 2003 after the Royals went 83-79, their first winning season since 1994.
Pena quit in 2005 after an 8-25 start that left his record with Kansas City at 198-285. He joined the Yankees later that year and learned a lot working under Torre.
