AFTERNOON UPDATE: Orioles looking to replace Showe

BLUEFIELD — George McGonagle is back in the general manager’s chair at Bowen Field. He doesn’t plan to stay there long.

McGonagle, who spent 12 years as the general manager of the Bluefield Orioles before his retirement in 2007, is serving again in the position vacated when Mike Showe resigned on Sept. 30.

“I have been asked by the board to come back temporarily until we find somebody, and we’re in the interviewing process right now,” said McGonagle, who doesn’t know why Showe resigned, two years after taking the position. “I am the acting G.M., and it needs to be as temporary as possible.”

The Bluefield Baseball Club has begun its search for Showe’s successor, and have made an offer, according to McGonagle, but they’re waiting for a response that could come in the next few days.
