According to a report in the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Monday, Bobby Valentine, Manny Acta and Travis Fryman are among the finalists to be the next Indians manager, Valentine will get a second interview this week in Cleveland. Valentine has managed in the big leagues for 15 years and has a combined 1,117-1,072 record with the Rangers and Mets. His best season was in 2000, when he led the Mets to the World Series.
Acta managed the Nationals for two-plus seasons and compiled a 158-252 record. He was relieved of his duties in July of this year. Acta was interviewed by general manager Mark Shapiro and assistant general manager Chris Antonetti via the phone last week. "It is a very attractive situation, because they already have a good, young nucleus of players on the team and a very strong farm system. I believe that an exciting time is coming again to Cleveland." Acta wrote in an e-mail to MLB.com last week.
