The Yanks retained Larry Rothschild as the pitching coach before hiring a new manager.
Hmmm....
(Not that Larry didn't deserve the job.)

Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
Yankees should be the first team in MLB history to have two managers - one for home games and one for road games. Just because.

No. If I wanted to check with an ass, I would ask you.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
- Carlos Beltran tells Joel Sherman of the New York Post that he had a “brief conversation” with GM Brian Cashman and that he has a desire to apply his knowledge and passion for the game to a managerial role in the Majors. Beltran also indicated that he hasn’t been asked to come in for an interview, though, and Sherman suggests that the Yankees may only interview one or two additional candidates for the position, casting some doubt as to whether Beltran is truly a possibility.

It looks like Boone and Meulens are now the front runners.

Wedge has to be taken seriously as well due to his solid run in Cleveland. The Yankees are looking at a similar hire to Boston's. Analytical manager who relays well with the players. They also seem to want someone young. Wedge is 49 and Meulens in 50, so they aren't exactly spring chickens but aren't exactly old either. I am surprised Brosius isn't on this list.
Hal sucks
I was a business associate of Eric Wedge back in the late '90s. I met with him many times.
He is articulate, insightful, and personable. I got to watch him teach some young players catching skills. He is very good at teaching young players.
I have wanted the Sox to make him Manager since they axed Tito. I guess the fiasco in Seattle has somehow tarnished his reputation. Not with me. That Seattle FO was fucked.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
What? no one ever calls a white guy articulate!

Imagine that.
Last night I watched Steve Kerr being interviewed. He was articulate as well.

It looks like Beltran is the front runner for the job.
Well hey, he’s fresh out of the game, was a great player, and can really relate with the young Hispanic core and the coming Hispanic prospects as well. Cashman must have loved his leadership while he was here for 2.5 years
I like it, if he gets the job the question is who will be the bench coach, he will need somebody with experience, I like Peña, he was more than decent with Torre
It looks like Thomson will be with the Philies, one less in the run for the job.
MLBTR seems to think it's between Boone and Meulens.
