00:00Brad Osmus was named the manager of the Houston Astros, so they're going to have to fill this spot.
00:07David Ross, the former Cubs manager and the former catcher, is close with Aaron Boone.
00:11I think he could possibly be in play for this.
00:14Brandon Hyde, managed in the division with the Orioles, has been working as a scout for the Tampa Bay Rays.
00:20I wonder if he could get involved in this.
00:24There's one obvious name, and it comes with a quirk.
00:27Joe Espada worked with the Yankees for a long time before he left to become the bench coach of the
00:33Astros.
00:34He has kept very strong relationships with a lot of important people in the Yankee organization.
00:41He is going to, at minimum, be in the conversation.
00:45But if it ended up being Espada, you'd have the interesting combination, right?
00:49You'd have that Osmus left as Yankee bench coach to become the manager of the Astros,
00:54and the guy who had been the manager of the Astros, Joe Espada, would be coming to be the bench
00:59coach of the Yankees.
