The Padres, currently sitting third in the National League
West with a record of 32-33, will immediately begin a search for
an interim manager for the remainder of the 2015 season, the
team said in a statement.
Black, who was named the NL's manager of the year in 2010, went
649-713 during his tenure and failed to get the club into the
postseason.
San Diego had expected to be a contender in the NL West division
but instead have been hovering around .500 and are six games out
of first place.
Bench coach Dave Roberts will guide the team until a decision on
an interim is named.
