Lovullo, 48, has ties to Cubs president Theo Epstein, who hired him to manage Boston's Cla s-AAA affiiate in Pawtucket in 2010. Lovullo served as first-base coach for Max Fried Jersey the Toronto Blue Jays in 2011 and 2012 before taking the Red Sox position this Babe Ruth Jersey season.

The team also is expected to interview former Seattle Mariners manager Eric Wedge, San Blank Jersey Diego Padres bench coach Rick Renteria and Padres a sistant general manager A.J. Hinch. Renteria is considered the front-runner.
