The Padres will grant permission for Bochy, their manager of the past 12 seasons, to interview with other clubs, FOXSports.com has learned. The Cubs and Giants are the two most likely teams to seek permission to interview Bochy. The Rangers and Nationals also have managerial openings. Lou Piniella is the front-runner for the Cubs' job, according to major-league sources, but the sudden availability of Bochy could alter the team's plans.
