I have updated my list today to reflect managers in danger of losing their jobs or staying around for 2018.

Managers are listed in five categories: out, probable, questionable, doubtful, and in. Out is for managers who have been fired or their expiring contracts are not being renewed. Probable is a seventy-five percent chance the manager is not returning. Questionable is a fifty percent change the manager is not returning. Doubtful is a twenty-five percent chance the manager is not returning. In is for managers returning for the 2018 season.

Probable
  • Ausmus, Brad; Detroit Tigers (American League)
  • Gibbons, John; Toronto Blue Jays (American League)
  • Mackanin, Pete; Philadelphia Phillies (National League)
  • Matheny, Mike; Saint Louis Cardinals (National League)
Questionable
  • Melvin, Bob; Oakland Athletics (American League)
  • Snitker, Brian; Atlanta Braves (National League)
In
  • Price, Bryan; Cincinnati Reds (National League): The Reds exercised Price's club option for 2018.

It shouldn't come as a surprise since this is the same city who's football team has kept the same coach for 14 years despite the fact they ALWAYS commit dumb penalties because of the personal they have year after year, and oh by the way, that same football coach is 0-7 in the playoffs. Maybe the sports teams in Cincinnati just stopped caring

I think you're right, LOL. But that was a joke when the Reds re-signed him for another year.

Your missing the Mets coach Collins. He'll be fired or asked to retire at the end of this year. Popular guy in the front office, but the team needs new leadership. Lots of injuries, but still its time for Collins to go.

Both New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson and manager Terry Collins have expiring contracts. I have not considered their jobs in danger considering the Mets' play in 2015 (National League East Division and National League champions) and 2016 (National League wild card berth).

If the Mets are ready for a rebuild, it may be time to hire a new general manager and a new manager.

If Bob Melvin is staying with the Oakland Athletic through the 2019 season, general manager David Frost will have to participate in the off-season by adding team members who play baseball and win games.
