Sox keeping their coaches for another day

Well, there apparently won’t be a managerial announcement out of Seattle today, so the Red Sox have Brad Mills and DeMarlo Hale for now. Mills and Hale were among the seven people interviewed for the Mariners’ job, and there had been reports that an announcement could come today.

But Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik tells the News-Tribune in Tacoma that he wants to take another day to make sure there aren’t any surprises that would get the new manager off to a bad start. After all, there hasn’t been a lot going *right* in Seattle recently.

Expect an announcement Wednesday or Thursday, although the winning candidate will know sooner.
