Posted October 21, 201311 yr 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
October 21, 201311 yr That's because he wants to come back and lead our team to the World Series again. He's the final piece.
October 21, 201311 yr 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.
October 21, 201311 yr 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
October 21, 201311 yr He will spend his retirement on his porch smoking a carton of cigarettes each day.

November 10, 201311 yr No manager in Marlins has ever lost more games in a season than Leyland!! Good point. 108 losses in 1998... Jim Leyland = Worst Manager in Marlins history. Right?
