HBT: Riggleman, Tracy finalists for Jays manager?

UPDATE: According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, Jim Riggleman hasn?t been contacted by the Blue Jays. And that?s straight from Riggleman?s agent, Burton Rocks. However, he would have interest in the job.

10:51 AM: The Blue Jays have been busy with high-profile player acquisitions this week, but they still don?t have a manager. According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, that could change very soon.

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos has tried to keep his search under wraps, but he reportedly wants a manager with previous experience. While Tracy and Riggleman are pretty underwhelming choices, this report by Olney indicates that?Anthopoulos is leaning in that direction.

Tracy has an 856-880 record over 11 seasons as a manager in the majors between the Dodgers, Pirates and Rockies. He resigned as Colorado?s skipper in October. Riggleman has a 622-824 record over 12 seasons as a manager in the majors, making stops with the Padres, Cubs, Mariners and Nationals. He infamously quit the Nationals last June after the club declined to give him a multi-year contract. He managed the Reds? Double-A affiliate this season.
