Add former Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke to the growing list of candidates interested in becoming the next Rockies manager.

A major-league source on Thursday confirmed Roenicke’s interest. However, there is no word yet on whether Roenicke will be granted an interview. The Rockies’ front office and owner Dick Monfort have been tight-lipped about the search to replace Walt Weiss, who resigned after four years as the team’s manager.

“At the top of our off-season priority list is selecting the manager to lead this club, followed closely by the coaching staff around him,” general manager Jeff Bridich wrote in a letter to season-ticket holders. “The search includes internal and external candidates and the coming weeks will be busy with interviews. We are already encouraged by the individuals who have expressed interest in managing our team — men with experience and respect in the game. As with any search of this magnitude, there will be speculation, but know that we will share the final decision with you as soon as it’s made.”

Bridich previously confirmed that Triple-A Albuquerque manager Glenallen Hill is a candidate, saying that Hill is someone the organization views highly. On Tuesday, Bud Black, the former manager for the San Diego Padres, told The Denver Post that he is interested in the Rockies job.

Roenicke, 60, managed the Brewers beginning in 2011 through early May 2015. He was fired on May 4, 2015 after the Brewers began the season with a 7-18 record. In just over four seasons with the Brewers, Roenicke was 342-331.

In his first season as major league manager in 2011, Roenicke led the Brewers to a 96-66 record — the best in team history — and the National League Central title. The Brewers beat Arizona in the first round of the playoffs before losing to St. Louis in the National League Championship Series.

Roenicke has earned a reputation as a manager who works well with young players. He was the third-base coach for the Angels in 2016. He finished the 2015 season as third-base coach for the Dodgers.

Another candidate to emerge as Colorado’s next manager is Braves first-base coach Eddie Perez, according to a report from Venezuela. Perez is managing the Tigres de Aragua in the Venezuelan Winter League.
