Despite a pending last place finish in 2015, Brad Ausmus will be back as Tigers manager in 2016.
In a surprising plot twist at the tail end of a topsy-turvy season, the Detroit Tigers have announced that Brad Ausmus will return for the 2016 season. Ausmus, who guided the Tigers to a division title in 2014, is 162-153 as the team's manager with seven scheduled games remaining in the 2016 season.
The Tigers have been one of the worst teams in the American League in 2015, so bad that Ausmus was expected to be fired.
