The list of Twins' managerial candidates seems to be growing rather quickly. Whether it's all just a polite smokescreen before the Twins hire someone in-house like Paul Molitor or Doug Mientkiewicz … or Terry Ryan is legitimately casting a wide net … the latest name to emerge per a report Thursday morning is rather intriguing.

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sorts says Sandy Alomar Jr. will get an interview with the Twins.

So add Alomar to the growing list of names linked to the job.

Alomar, 48, is well-known from his successful MLB career as a catcher, which spanned an incredible 20 seasons (1988-2007).

He's been the bench coach with Cleveland the past three seasons, staying in that role despite a managerial change during that time from Manny Acta to Terry Francona. He has also been said to be on the short list of candidates for other managerial openings but has yet to get his shot.

Our guy Reusse has been leading the charge in saying the Twins should hire more coaches who can speak Spanish, since much of the Twins' promising core of young players have Spanish as their native language. Alomar certainly fits that bill. He is said to be well-respected around the game and also interviewed recently for the Arizona vacancy.

Would he succeed here? We have no idea. But of the names mentioned so far, Alomar is high on the list of intriguing candidates to manage the Twins.
