Tigers being a conservative team and front office, I don't see them dumping Ausmus unless they went on a 2 and 8 or 1 and 9 road trip.
If that happened, fat daddy lamont would ride it out.
and if, hopefully ausmus is let go at the end of the season, they will probably go back to a seasoned/veteran manager for the club, imo.
You would think that Al Avila the Assistant GM would get DD's position, but the problem that no one knows is what is going on with Mr. Ilitch? He is more of a recluse, no one knows his health, physical or mental...dementia?? who knows. and in recent weeks a few blips about a son running the team more than before. With that, it sounds like the son doesn't have the passion for the Tigers that Mr. I has had. This could also be a reason we have heard a couple of blips about maybe selling the team...who knows.
I don't want any part of Ausmus next year period.
