2 weeks tomorrow since Milquetoast was canned and still no rumors of interviews yet???

Maybe they will just let Leo Rivas be a player manager to save money.
Don't they have to wait until after the World Series?
Took me 1.3 seconds longer to type my question into Google than it took you to type that question here. :)
do mlb teams have to wait until after the world series to replace fired managers

No, MLB teams do not have to wait until after the World Series to hire or replace a manager.
• Immediate Hires: Teams that have fired or parted ways with a manager can begin conducting interviews and making new managerial hires as soon as their season ends.
• Playoff Candidates: If a team wants to interview a candidate currently employed as a coach or manager by a team still playing in the postseason, they must request and receive permission from that organization.
• World Series Courtesy: Major League Baseball and its franchises typically pause major promotional announcements or official press conferences during the World Series out of respect for the Fall Classic, though background talks and agreements can still take place.

I think the best choice would be Steven Vogt.

His team is still playing. Just give him more money than Cleveland is.

Columnist Colin O'Keefe's pitch to bring back Andy McKay, the former Mariner assistant general manager and director of player development:

McKay currently is the field coordinator for the Cleveland Guardians.

I can't imagine any manager candidate wanting to work under Dipogo evdn if no ogher team wanted them or it was their first shot at it. It's basically a career killer.

This is a pretty good read. He makes a solid case.
