Jim Leyland stepping down as Tigers manager
Jim Leyland, who led the Detroit Tigers to two pennants in
eight seasons and got them to the verge of a third this season, will not return
for a ninth. Leyland announced in a press conference Monday that he is stepping
down as Detroit's manager. Leyland will be accepting another position with the
club, which is yet to be determined. Detroit was Leyland's fourth and most
successful stop in a managerial career that likely will conclude with his
enshrinement in baseball's Hall of Fame. Leyland's departure creates a whopping
five managerial openings: the Tigers, Washington Nationals, Chicago Cubs,
Cincinnati Reds and Seattle Mariners.
