The Tigers will hire Brad Ausmus as manager, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets. The news was first reported in a tweet by Adam Spolane of SportsRadio 610.

We even got beat on fucking Brad Ausmus.

What does it say when a Really Smart Person won't work for Really Smart People? God, I just know they'll hire A.J. Hinch now.

I have a very bad feeling about this as well. This whole Bi-GM thing with Jed and Theo might have been a bad idea. When you have someone of almost equal power to bounce ideas off of you 2nd guess yourself, dick around debating while life continues to happen around you. Unless Demi Lovullo is hired then they are going to look like they have no clear plan as all the other candidates have been on the table for weeks. If you want Renteria then go fucking hire him already.

I would guess Renteria but who knows? If I were the candidate I would make sure these next two likely bad years don't count against me.

Things are bad but to go after ex fucking Disney XD starlets to manage your baseball team is beyond comprehension.

what?

I think the Ausmus news was good. I did not want him.

Renteria is the guy IMO.

4 daughters. And I guess I don't

I think it might be time to bring back Murph's clown sound. This is getting ridiculous. They're going to get some bobo they are able to control. But hey, since all these guys in the minors are going to be great, just go with a college of coaches.

Did you want Ausmus?

Who is the guy you want?

I don't really have a guy. You could probably throw them all in a hat and pull one out. I was hoping they could pull Girardi away but we all know what "hope" gets us. Nas and I were about the only two who wanted Girardi in 07 over Lou. I really think they may have missed on Sandburg, only time will tell.
It just seems they are flailing about with no direction after Girardi re-upped. It'll probably be Renteria. He may end up being a good manager, who knows. Until they get some MLB talent, any manager is going to be bad.

yes to this. I think Sveum got the bums rush. He had some quotes during the season that Theo didn't like and now he's gone.

Lots of speculation that I'm not sure has much merit. And there isn't a Bi-GM situation, and the Cubs front office setup is not unique.
