Buddy Black Rebuffs Dodgers
The shine is off the Dodgers' jewel, that's for sure:
Los Angeles Angels pitching coach Bud Black told the Dodgers on Tuesday he is not interested in being a candidate for their vacant managerial job.
Angels executive Tim Mead confirmed that new Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti called Angels GM Bill Stoneman to ask permission to interview Black.
"They went through the formality and followed protocol," Mead said. "Ned called and asked for permission and Bill gave it to him."
However, Dodgers spokesman Josh Rawitch said Black declined the opportunity, as he has with other past jobs, because he didn't want to have to move his family from the San Diego area.
Yeah, I hear that commute can be a real bitch.
