Bo Porter interviewed with the Pirates for their managerial vacancy and was considered one of the two favorites for the Marlins job. He won't be getting either, however. The Nationals announced Tuesday that Porter will be the third base coach on Jim Riggleman's staff next season. The timing of the news is somewhat surprising. The Marlins were thought to favor Porter over interim manager Edwin Rodriguez last month and even offered him the job before sticking with Rodriguez during the season.
This news would seem to indicate that they've decided to stick with Rodriguez because it is hard to believe Porter would take himself out of the running at this point in the process. Not waiting for the Pirates is easier to understand as they are only now interviewing Rangers hitting coach Clint Hurdle and don't seem to be close to making a decision.
