Tigers manager

Brad Ausmus, who spent 18 seasons in Major League Baseball as a catcher, was given his first managerial job on Sunday by the Detroit Tigers. The 44-year-old American has served as a special assistant for the San Diego Padres since retiring as a player in 2010. The Tigers, 93-69 this past season, won the American League Central division crown for the third year in a row but lost to eventual World Series champion Boston in the AL championship series. Jim Leyland retired after the playoff loss to the Red Sox after eight seasons as Tigers manager. Ausmus played from 1993 through 2010 with Detroit, San Diego, Houston and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He batted .251 in 1,971 career games.
