A couple of weeks ago, a writer declared the Detroit Tigers had a disconnection between their front office, ownership, and the on the field product. This brilliant writer hit the nail on the head as the disconnection showed once again in the handling of Brad Ausmus’s job security.
On September 10, Bernie Smilovitz reported an exclusive report that the Tigers would fire Ausmus at the conclusion of the season. Smilovitz knows better than to file a report like this without a reputable source giving him the information.
This means that either someone in the organization either had the information that the Tigers were going to fire Ausmus, or he was a high ranking member of the organization that wanted Ausmus to get fired so he leaked the information.
