Fired

[Guest Edgy DC]

Managers getting the axe so far:

Ken Macha, Brewers
Jerry Manuel, Mets
John Russell, Pirates
Joe Torre, Dodgers (resigning)

Cubs, Mariners, Marlins finish season with interim managers, so I guess those count as open jobs also.

Dusty Baker, meanwhile, signs on for a two-year extension with the Redlegs.

Indians promote their GM to president and his assistant to GM.

I wonder if Dusty would have made the fired list but for making the playoffs.

Maybe, but that statement could be true for Washington or Girardi or Bochy too.

Yesterday's rumors had Kirk Gibson being re-upped in Arizona despite a nothing special record since his mid-season takeover.
Don't think that's official yet but sounds like it's one job that will NOT be open this winter.

Don't forget Bobby Cox's retirement as another open job.

I'll count it when it happens. As it is, the teams already in the market have a theoretical head start on the Braves.

I don't think this is true, theoretical or otherwise. If anything, the Braves have a theoretical head start on everybody because they've known this vacancy was coming for quite a while.

And yet, they haven't announced that they've appointed anybody, and certainly won't be while the team is still playing.

I'm officially throwing my hat in the ring for the Brewers' job. My resume will be in the mail tomorrow.

Welcome to the shopping network, Atlanta Braves.

Cox threw another layer atop those who doubt him actually staying retired when he told reporters that the cruise the team gave him as one of his going-away gifts has already been booked by his wife ... for April 2011.
