Jim Leyland wants to keep managing and after the Tigers advanced to the World Series on Thursday night, Dave Dombrowski said the manager is welcome back.

"Jim Leyland is welcome back here," Dombrowski said. "He knows that. He's in a situation where we want him back, and I'm sure that he wants to come back. ...

"But there's a time and a place for that. It's not right now."

Leyland has the Tigers in the postseason for the third time since taking over as manager prior to the 2006 season.
