Jim Leyland: Leyland is in his 21st season as a major league manager, having led the Florida Marlins to the world championship in 1997 and taken the Tigers to the World Series in 2006. The 2012 Tigers were an overwhelming favorite to take the AL Central after signing Prince Fielder last offseason, but their battle with the White Sox for the division went down to the wire. Even though the Tigers are playing for a pennant, Leyland still does not having a contract for 2013 and has not been asked by the Tigers whether he wants to return to manage Detroit.
