Padres to interview Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza for manager; Matt Carpenter exercises player option

The Padres’ manager search continues this weekend, with the team interviewing Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza. The 43-year-old Mendoza will be the fourth candidate interviewed as the Padres look to replace Bob Melvin, who departed last week to become manager of the Giants. Internal candidates Mike Shildt and Ryan Flaherty are still considered the favorites, but sources said President of Baseball Operations A.J.

Melvin was introduced by the Giants on Oct. 25. That day, Shildt began the interview process. A manager of the Cardinals from 2018-21, Schildt, 55, spent the last two seasons working as a Padres adviser in baseball operations. He also filled in on the major-league staff. Flaherty, who interviewed last week, has been a Padres coach since 2020. A former big-league infielder, the 37-year-old Flaherty played alongside Manny Machado with the Orioles.
