Brad Ausmus may not be fired yet:

It appears that the assessment already has been completed by someone high up with the Tigers, based on multiple reports that Ausmus will be fired at the end of the season. But not everyone appears to have been looped in.

A Tigers front-office source in baseball operations told MLive.com on Friday morning that the news that Ausmus would be fired at the end of the season came as a surprise.

“It was complete news to me,” the source said.

Someone jumped the gun.
