Report: Yankees to interview additional managerial candidates

Over the past few weeks, the New York Yankees revealed their five candidates for the recently vacant managerial position; Aaron Boone, Chris Woodward, Eric Wedge, Rob Thomson, and Hensley Meulens. However, the Yankees recently announced they plan to expand their search, and are in no rush to name a new skipper. Ken Rosenthal of The Atlantic reported the Yankees plan to interview additional managerial candidates. The list beyond the five initial candidates is unknown at the time.

#Yankees plan to interview additional managerial candidates, sources confirm to The Athletic. Length of list beyond initial five is not known. @Jim_BowdenSXM was first to report on additional interviews. Team not in rush; only club still looking for a manager.

Following their elimination from the American League Championship Series, the Yankees parted ways with 10-year manager Joe Girardi. Yankees GM Brian Cashman later added that it's possible the team could be without a manager by the Winter Meetings, Christmas, and New Year's Day. The Yankees are currently the only team searching for a manager.
