Former Tampa Bay managers Joe Maddon and Lou Piniella are among eight candidates on the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Contemporary Baseball Era ballot announced Monday.
Maddon guided Tampa Bay to its first World Series in 2008 and later managed the Cubs to the 2016 championship. Piniella managed Tampa Bay from 2003 through 2005 and led Seattle to 116 wins in 2001.
The 16-member committee will announce results Dec. 6. A candidate needs at least 12 votes to be elected.
