Clint Hurdle
He always got the Pirates to play better than their talent.

Joe Espada
Espada has served as the Houston Astros bench coach for the past two seasons. Prior to then, he was a member of Joe Girardi's Yankees staff. Espada will coach most of next season as a 44-year-old, putting him on the younger side. All the same, he's well-regarded and it seems like a matter of if not when he gets named someone's skipper.

Andy Green
Green didn't enjoy much on-the-field success with the San Diego Padres. He still has plenty of fans within the industry who suspect he'll eventually become a good big-league skipper.

Hensley “Bam Bam” Meulens
Meulens nearly landed the Yankees' job the winter before last. He speaks a handful of languages and should be an intriguing candidate. He currently serves as the Giants' bench coach.

Don Wakamatsu
Rangers bench coach who hasn't been a full-time manager since getting canned by the Seattle Mariners in 2010. Nevertheless, Wakamatsu almost always seems to get interviewed for gigs, in part of how well respected he is around the game.

Ryan Christenson
Christenson is an under-the-radar candidate who has worked his way through Oakland's minor league system as a manager and is now the bench coach for a playoff-bound A's team. A former big league player, Christenson possesses plenty of MLB clubhouse experience. Learning how to be a player-first manager from Bob Melvin has perhaps accelerated his development.

Bob Geren
Geren is one of the few managers in the Billy Beane era not to win with the A's. Oakland went 334-376 under his stewardship, and it made the postseason the year before and year after he was on the job. As an assistant, however, Geren has earned acclaim for his recent work in New York and Los Angeles with the Mets and Dodgers. He's currently LA's bench coach. The 58-year-old is considered to be a blend of old- and new-school styles, able to work under the guidance of a hands-on front office while equipped to call on-the-fly shots from the dugout.

Jay Bell
Bell played 18 years in the Majors for five teams and has coached for four organizations since 2005, giving him a wealth of knowledge about much of the league.
Known as a great teacher of young players, Bell is managing the Yankees' Double-A affiliate in Trenton. He had his first taste of the job last season with the team's Class A Advanced team in Tampa, where he was named the Florida State League's Manager of the Year.
Bell has been a hitting coach with the Pirates and a bench coach with the D-backs and Reds, giving him a big league coaching résumé to go with his Minor League managerial experience.

Carlos Beltran
The 9 time All-Star hung up his spikes after winning his first World Series championship last fall, closing out an accomplished 20-year career that could land him in the Hall of Fame five years from now.
But weeks after riding in the parade through the streets of Houston, Beltran found himself meeting with Brian Cashman and the rest of the Yankees' front office, interviewing for the team's vacant managerial position. He lost out to Boone, and although Beltran would have been a welcome addition to many coaching staffs, he opted to spend 2018 with his family before considering his future.
Whether Beltran opts to pursue potential coaching opportunities as early as next season remains to be seen, but the soon-to-be 41-year-old has made it clear that he envisions a future in that arena.

Joe Girardi
Hey, why not?
