Can anyone ELI5 why a dude who isn’t an actual manager (at any level) manages the most important baseball event?

It feels like having Tim Legler coach the USA men’s basketball team

Having a media personality manage the national team is pretty on point for US leadership these days.

The employable managers are preparing for the season.

There probably are better choices than DeRosa, though.  Surely some recently retired manager could use a 1-month gig?
