Hirings and firings and season wrap up news
- Detroit fired manager Costodio Eubanks after a 2nd straight sub 70 win season. Eubanks was the bench coach in Detroit from 2000-2002 before takin gover in 2003 and guiding them to back to back playoff appearances, where they have not been since.
- The Chicago Hitmen fired GM Tae-kon Kim after they slipped to 74-88 this year. On the heels of 3 straight playoff appearances after coming over from Dallas.
- The Austin Roughnecks did not renew the contract of GM Jonathan Long. His 4 year deal saw the team go 289-359.
- Wyoming let manager Eric Victory go after their 81-81 season. This year was the only year of four the team finished .500.
- Portland fired manager Lance Johnson after their 78-84 finish. Johnsons 6 year stint ended at 504-471 with 3 post-season appearances.
- In a somewhat surprising move Columbus fired the only GM to ever serve. Mike Weems built an organization that made the playoffs from 2003-2010, just 2 years after their founding, including winning the 2004 world series.
- I am definitely interested in possibly bringing him in as my assistant.
- Scott Donnelly was one of the original IBL general managers. Starting in New England before his move to San Diego in 2002. The Missions fired him today after their 'disappointing' 83-79 season. His first 7 seasons in New England the Revolution made the playoffs every year.
- Atlanta (75-87) fired GM Ian Haik.
- Jacksonville and the only manager to ever helm the team agreed to part ways after 20 years. Seth Spicer, two time manager of the year (2000, 2010) and 2 time world champion (2000, 2010) is moving on and many don't think he'll be away long.
- Phoenix did not extend the contract of GM Luke Dobbins.
