Most Future Managers on one team in a season

While listing some team sets for sale on ebay I noticed the 1989 Upper Deck Cleveland Indians set had four future managers.
Bud Black, John Farrell, Terry Francona, and Ron Washington. They all played together on Indians during 1988 season.

Any ideas if any other teams had as many or more future managers playing together during same season?

    Several different Dodger teams had 4 or more.
    Oddly enough, one of those was the 1977 Dodgers, with Dusty Baker, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, and the same Ron Washington.
    And in 1972, the Dodgers had 6 future managers on their roster, with Jim Lefebvre, Lopes, Russell, Frank Robinson, Bobby Valentine, and Maury Wills all on the team.

    No more than 3 of those 6 managed at the same time in the majors so far.
    The 1959 Dodgers had 7 future managers on their roster (Roger Craig, Gil Hodges, Frank Howard, Bob Lillis, Norm Sherry, Maury Wills, and Don Zimmer), but no more than 3 managed at the same time in the majors.
    I haven't looked carefully at any other franchises - the KC A's turned out a lot of managers.
