DENVER — The Rockies have not gone public with candidates for their managerial opening, but Braves first-base coach Eddie Perez acknowledged that the Rockies have contacted him, according to a report from Venezuela.

Perez is managing the Tigres de Aragua in the Venezuelan Winter League. On Thursday, Reyes Urena, a reporter for Lider en Deportes tweeted that Perez received a call from the Rockies and is on a list of potential candidates to replace Walt Weiss, who announced Monday that he would not return in what turned out a mutual decision between him and general manager Jeff Bridich.

The Venezuelan publication El Emergente published a story, crediting Urena’s tweet.
