It’s never too early to take a look at which MLB managers might be feeling the heat. We’re a month and a half into the season, and some can feel the intensity.
MLB managers get fired a lot. It happens every year.
Sometimes it’s real early, like former Cincinnati Reds’ manager, Bryan Price. He was fired after his team started off 3-15. It might seem harsh at first look, but the move came after four straight years of sub-.500 finishes.
On the other hand, it’s not always doomed for managers who get off to bad starts. Philadelphia Phillies’ rookie manager, Gabe Kapler, was already worthy to be fired based on enraged Twitter fans after the first week. If you look now, his team has a pretty solid 22-16 record. That’s good enough for second in the National League East.
Or, you could be someone like the NBA’s Dwayne Casey. His Toronto Raptors have been a top team in the Eastern Conference for years. This year, they had the best finish in the East. He was voted the Coach of the Year, too. The end result? He was fired.
My point being, a manager or coaches status is never certain. It’s about results, but sometimes managers take the fall as a result of circumstances.
This year in Major League Baseball is no different. Some MLB managers have become prime candidates for exits.
With that being said, lets take a look at some MLB managers on the hot seat.
