Carlos Tosca interviews for Pirates managerial opening

By Allan

Carlos Tosca was just named the Atlanta Braves new bench coach, and one day later he was interviewing for the vacant Pittsburgh Pirates job.

According to MLB.com Jenifer Langosch, Tosca was the seventh candidate that the Pirates have interviewed since John Russell was fired after the 2010 season.

The 57-year-old Tosca previously managed the Toronto Blue Jays from 2002 (as interim manager) then one full season in 2003 and then 111 games in 2004. He finished with a 191-191 record – never finishing higher than third place in the competitive American League East. Tosca does have 17 seasons as Minor League manager.

Tosca joins a crowded pool of candidates that the Pirates have interviewed over the past few weeks: Eric Wedge, Bo Porter, John Gibbons, Jeff Banister, Ken Macha and Dale Sveum
