San Diego coach Rich Hill did not accept the Washington coaching job during his visit to Seattle, and he is now in Jamaica with his wife. It’s unclear whether or not Hill officially turned the job down, but the latest rumor circulating in college baseball circles is that Washington has shifted its focus to Kansas coach Ritch Price. A call to Price’s cell phone went straight to voicemail, and Kansas baseball secretary Marcia Bagby said he’s currently in Hawaii on KU business.

Price grew up in Oregon and played at Willamette (Ore.) University. Whether his roots would make him receptive to returning to the Pacific Northwest is unclear. We’ll have an update once we find out whether or not there’s any substance to this latest rumor.
