Tigers' Manager Jim Leyland says that he won't bail on the team in the midst of their struggles, according to The Detroit News.

"I'm not leaving here if that's what you're getting at," Leyland told Jerry Green of the The News recently.

"They'll have to fire me. I'm very happy here. Let's see how that plays out. I like managing, and I've got a lot of energy. So I'm strong, I feel good; I've got a lot of energy, and I want to manage."

The Tigers are 60-64, 10.5 games behind the White Sox for first place in the American League Central.
