You can read the full release from the Hall of Fame here, but here is the main thing you need to know:

Four managers, two executives and two umpires comprise the eight-name Contemporary Baseball Era Managers/Executives/Umpires ballot, which features candidates whose primary contribution to the game came since 1980.

The Contemporary Baseball Era Managers/Executives/Umpires ballot includes Cito Gaston, Davey Johnson, Jim Leyland, Ed Montague, Hank Peters, Lou Piniella, Joe West and Bill White. All candidates except Peters are living.

The results of the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee vote will be announced live on MLB Network’s “MLB Tonight” at 7:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Dec. 3.

Any candidate who receives votes on 75 percent of the ballots cast by the committee will earn election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 21, 2024, along with any electees who emerge from the 2024 Baseball Writers’ Association of America election, to be announced on Jan. 23, 2024.

Piniella is on the ballot alongside former managers Cito Gaston, Davey Johnson and Jim Leyland.

Piniella spent 23 years as a manager for the Yankees, Reds, Mariners, Rays and Cubs. He won the World Series in 1990 with the Reds and amassed 1,835 career wins. He also helmed the Mariners to an American League record 116 wins in the 2001 season.
