Brad Ausmus will worry about the future when it’s in the past, he said.
He said it before Friday night’s series opener against the Twins, when asked about his job status for next season, which has been swirling in the wind for the past two weeks.
Today, his future became more clear: He will return as Tigers manager next season.
“After almost two months of watching this team play, evaluating our staff and manager, a lot of discussion and my staff, I’ve concluded and decided that Brad Ausmus should be our manager going into 2016,” general manager Al Avila said today.
