Given the team's recent performance, this isn't much of a surprise.
He hasn't been fired yet, but an already piping hot seat is quickly coming to a boil. Bernie Smilovitz of Detroit television station WDIV reports that the Detroit Tigers will fire manager Brad Ausmus at the end of the 2015 season, citing Al Avila's desire for a fresh start after taking the general manager position in early August.
This news comes as no surprise to anyone who has watched the Tigers this year. The losses have piled up, and a preseason division favorite currently sits at 64-76, in last place in the American League Central Division.
