The Dodgers may not have a manager yet, but the team has narrowed the list of possible replacements for Don Mattingly to three.
Gabe Kapler, Bud Black and Dave Roberts are still in the running, after Darrin Erstad removed his name from consideration on Friday, the LA Times reported.

The trio is expected to continue interviews into next week, and the Dodgers could have a skipper named within 10 days.
The club has been seeking a new manager since mutually parting ways with Mattingly on Oct. 22. Mattingly quickly found other work however, agreeing on Nov. 2 to manage the Marlins.
Kapler doesn't have coaching or managerial experience in the majors, but the Dodgers farm director is a favorite within the organization and shares a strong belief in sabermetrics with the Dodgers front office, per Yahoo Sports.
Black has compiled a 649-713 record (.477 winning percentage) and never reached the playoffs in 8 1/2 seasons with the Padres. He was fired midway through this season after starting 32-33. He is well-regarded because of his easygoing nature and strong ability to relate with players, especially pitchers.
Roberts, a former major-league outfielder, was a finalist to becoming the Mariners manager this offseason. He's worked under Dodgers VP Josh Byrnes when the two were with the Padres.
