Leyland resigns
Print Edition
Jim Leyland has resigned as manager of the Detroit Tigers after leading the team to three consecutive division titles and two World Series appearances in eight seasons. But he plans to stay with the club in some capacity. Leyland, 68, spent 22 years as a major league manager and has been part of professional baseball for 50 years. He announced his resignation in Detroit on Monday two days after the Tigers lost the American League Championship Series to the Boston Red Sox. “When it’s time, it’s time, and it’s time to step down,” Leyland said. “It’s not goodbye, because I will be in the organization doing something,” he added.
