The Detroit Tigers managerial search continues to grow in numbers.
Instead of setting his sights on a small group of potential hires, general manager Al Avila is utilizing his long list of options. While waiting on A.J. Hinch and Alex Cora, who can't interview for jobs until after the World Series because of their roles in the 2017 Houston Astros scandal, he is evaluating numerous other candidates.
Here's who Avila has reportedly interviewed: Kansas City Royals bench coach Pedro Grifol, Pittsburgh Pirates bench coach Don Kelly, Los Angeles Dodgers first base coach George Lombard, Tigers interim manager Lloyd McClendon, New York Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza, Yankees third base coach Phil Nevin, Yankees hitting coach Marcus Thames and Chicago Cubs third base coach Will Venable.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- In this oddest of years, this most peculiar of baseball seasons, there was perhaps no more telling snapshot of the United States, circa 2020, than a COVID-19-positive man sitting on the ground, maskless, next to a cancer survivor, maskless as well, with indelible grins spread across their faces. Sports is and always will be a metaphor for society.
The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series on Tuesday night, and in the moments after, the world learned that Justin Turner, the team's third baseman and pulse of the clubhouse, had contracted the coronavirus. Turner was asked to isolate. He did not abide. He strode onto the field, where his teammates were celebrating their 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6, and joined. He removed his mask to pose for pictures with his wife, whom he kissed. He planted himself on the ground as the team gathered for a photo to commemorate the Dodgers' first championship in 32 years. To his right sat Dave Roberts, the Dodgers' manager, who 10 years ago was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. To Turner's left, gleaming, sat the World Series trophy.

Cash pretty much did everything right all year, then pulls Snell too early ion the most important game of the year
For what "might" happen
He was nervous about him facing the top 3, who were 0-6 against him to that point
You GOTTA let him get through that there. He had been damn-near perfect to that point. You leave him until the lead is gone.
Don't put that on someone else (Anderson)
Cash's whole career will have that moment hanging over it. Its hindsight to say it was wrong, but it was wrong.

Tested positive and didn't isolate. Not a good idea.

So what if he tests again and it's negative. Will they make as big of a deal about it?

Most people I know mask up. It seems I'm in the minority based on the media's coverage.

Probably the most outwardly public, selfish act we've seen so far.

I'm just floored by it
They knew
He knew
He was told to isolate
He didn't
It just kinda floors you.
Of course, you wanted to be out there, duh.
Probably the most outwardly public, selfish act we've seen so far.

Also, it was a pretty odd time for a test result to come in. I'd say chances are very good people in the Dodgers organization knew about the positive test before the game, but didn't let Turner or any of the other players and field staff know about it. Then to cover themselves, they release the results late in the game (when leading) to make it look like it was on the up-and-up.

IF

IF Tampa wins, do they release the test result and Turner doesn't play game 7??
