Yankees Rumors: Rob Thomson to Interview for Manager Position

Rob Thomson will interview for the New York Yankees' vacant managerial position Wednesday, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. 

The Yankees and general manager Brian Cashman parted ways with former manager Joe Girardi last month after 10 years at the helm.

Thomson served as Girardi's bench coach throughout his entire tenure as Yankees manager, and he was also a first base and third base coach at various points.

He joined the Yankees organization in 1990 as a first base coach in the minor leagues and has had various roles since then.

The 54-year-old native of Canada was a 32nd-round draft pick of the Detroit Tigers in 1985 and played until transitioning into a coaching role in 1988.

During Girardi's time as Yankees manager, New York went 910-710, which was the best record in Major League Baseball during that span.

The Yanks were eliminated in the American League Championship Series last season, falling to the Houston Astros in seven games.
