The Gene Lamont era appears ready to begin in Pittsburgh.
According to sources close to the Pirates on Monday, Lamont is expected to become the Pirates’ manager later this week, barring a breakdown in negotiations or a surprise offer from another team currently without a manager.
Lamont, who managed the Chicago White Sox for 2 1/2 seasons, would likely make about $250,000 to $300,000 per season, or one-third of Jim Leyland’s $900,000 salary.
