Oy vey.
Tigers source just said that Mike Ilitch is already “teetering” on Brad Ausmus. If Leyland can be convinced, the switch will be made soon.

The feeling is Leyland will stay retired, but will hear the pitch. Situation looking bad for Ausmus. A Leyland “no” would buy some time.

“If Jim (Leyland) wants to return, he could be in the dugout within days”. Delicate situation as Leyland likes and respects Ausmus.

Source says Ilitch plans or planned to reach out to Jim Leyland as of last night. Not sure if that conversation has happened yet.

One more tidbit: Tigers not expected to fire Ausmus just to promote from within. Ilitch wants an import with clout.
