The Pittsburgh Pirates are in the market for a new manager after deciding to fire Clint Hurdle last week. A familiar name to baseball fans reportedly is being mentioned as a candidate for the job.
Sam Fuld, who played eight seasons as an outfielder between 2007-2015, keeps coming up as a candidate, according to 93.7 The Fan’s Colin Dunlap.

Fuld, 37, was an outfielder for the Tampa Bay Rays, Oakland A’s, Chicago Cubs and Minnesota Twins. He was known for making superhero-like catches in the outfield.
Fuld is the player information coordinator for the Philadelphia Phillies. He was a candidate for the Blue Jays’ managerial job last winter.
