When the Detroit Tigers announced that Brad Ausmus would not return for the 2018 season, Tigers fans and media members started putting together lists of potential replacements. One name that consistently appeared on those lists (including ours) is former Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez.
Now with the Miami Marlins after being fired by Atlanta in 2016, Gonzalez may have a chance to lead a club again next year. FanRag Sports’ Jon Heyman reported that Gonzalez and the Tigers are linked “a lot” when Detroit’s managerial search is mentioned.
