LISTEN: On Friar Podcast – Who's In the Running and Who Makes Sense for the Padres?

A surprising name entered the chat this week, while a hometown favorite could join the equation. Who is in the mix, and who seems to be the best fit?

The Padres have been without a manager for more than a week, so how is the search shaping up? Derek and Darnay discuss some early candidates including one guy who almost seems like too obvious of a pick. What impact does the Cardinals' sudden decision have on the Padres' search? And what might it mean for Skip Schumaker? If Aaron Boone becomes available is a homecoming a no-brainer?

Derek shares two more names that have his attention. Then the guys rate their five top candidates, then find themselves comparing managers on the market to college football's Power 5.
