Leyland Retires

Jim Leyland retired as manager of the Detroit Tigers:

Citing a lack of energy, the 69-year-old Leyland announced Monday morning he will no longer manage the Detroit Tigers but he will remain with the organization in a position yet to be determined. Leyland has served the team’s manager since 2006 and has during that time compiled a 700-597 record, guided the team to two World Series, four American League Championship Series and three Central Division titles.

So another position opens up. It’s a good year to be a managerial candidate.
