Jim Leyland has agreed to manage the Detroit Tigers, a person close to the negotiations told The Associated Press. The Tigers scheduled a "major" announcement for the late afternoon, but declined to say what it was about. Soon after Alan Trammell was told he was not welcomed back as manager Monday morning, Leyland was en route to the Motor City. And after interviewing with Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski on Monday night, Leyland told The Detroit News he'd accept the Tigers job if it's the right fit. "If there's a fit for both parties and I'm offered the position, I'll accept it," he told the newspaper.
