Dodgers News: Chris Woodward Discusses Possibility Of Becoming Yankees Manager

Credit to the job they did they did in 2017, a few member of the Los Angeles Dodgers coaching staff and front office have drawn interest from other organizations as Gabe Kapler is the new manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, Alex Anthopoulos is the executive vice president and general manager of the Atlanta Braves and Tim Hyers is the hitting coach of the Boston Red Sox.

Dodgers third base coach Chris Woodward, who has been on Dave Roberts’ staff the last two seasons, also could possibly be headed out the door as he interviewed for the New York Yankees managerial opening.

Losing Woodward would be tough for Roberts and his staff, but if he has an opportunity to become the manager of the Yankees then it is understandable why he would make the move.

In a recent interview with Brendan Kuty of NJ.com, Woodward talked about the possible opportunity and why he feels he’s qualified:

“All the things that separate great teams from the mediocre ones,” he said. “I’d love the opportunity, obviously, to manage the Yankees. If you want to manage, managing this team would be a dream come true. I really admire everything this organization has done. It would be a huge honor.”

Woodward said he believed he’s “qualified in the manner of my experience in the game as a player (and) as a coach.”

In addition to Woodward, the Yankees have also interviewed Rob Thomson, Eric Wedge, Hensley Meulens and Aaron Boone for the position.

After the firing of Joe Girardi, Yankees senior vice president and general manager Brian Cashman made it clear that he would like a manager that embraces analytics, something that could play in Woodward’s favor as the Dodgers are one of the pioneers of the expanded use of analytics in recent years.
