Bud Black to Interview for A's manager

One of the outside names to be considered for the new A's manager has been Bud Black, the pitching coach for the Angels. He has received permission from the Angels to interview with the A's:

Black, 49, interviewed for the Giants' manager job earlier in the week. He
has spent the past seven seasons as the Angels' pitching coach and before that
worked as a special assistant to then-Indians GM John Hart.

Black, a left-hander, pitched for 15 years, including four with the Giants
(1991-94). Under Black, the Angels have had one of the top pitching
staffs.
