News Report


CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In picking a coaching staff, Indians manager Manny Acta would like to name a pitching coach and infield coach first. The team is not expected to make any announcements until the World Series is complete.

Acta has been in Los Angeles since the start of the World Series on Oct. 28. He is doing analyst work for Fox en Espanol on the Series. GM Mark Shapiro says Acta has been interviewing candidates almost every day. Shapiro and assistant GM Chris Antonetti are still in Cleveland, but have been involved in the interviews.
"We've talked to a lot of good candidates already," said Acta in an e-mail. "We're making progress."
Internal candidates for the pitching coach's job include Scott Radinsky and Dave Miller. Radinsky has been the Tribe's Class AAA pitching coach for the last three years. He's spent six years in the system.
