MrAndMrsFish Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Jim Leyland won't return as manager of the Detroit Tigers next season, a decision the team will announce in a Monday morning news conference, according to multiple reports. Leyland was managing the Tigers under a one-year contract extension he signed a year ago, after Detroit was swept by the San Francisco Giants in the World Series.Leyland, 68, told the team he was stepping down after the Tigers' Game 6 loss to the Boston Red Sox in the AL Championship Series, Fox Sports reported. Leyland managed 2012 on a one-year deal as well. http://espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2013/story/_/id/9857689/detroit-tigers-manager-jim-leyland-return-reports-say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entendu Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 That's because he wants to come back and lead our team to the World Series again. He's the final piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrchainsaw Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Probably just tired. Dude is old. He's apparently only 68. But doesn't look a day over 85. /stole that joke from deadspin, fight me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofthefish Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 No manager in Marlins has ever lost more games in a season than Leyland!!! Of course 1998 really wasn't his fault. I still remember him from managing in the FSL with Lakeland Tigers in the 70's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
