Every year in September, the MLB coaching carousel begins to heat up. As the hot seat becomes unbearable, we'll take a look at a handful of disappointing managers who won't return in 2016.
Managers are fired for a variety of reasons, but underachieving teams are usually a common theme. For the Miami Marlins, San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers and Washington Nationals, subpar win totals have cast doubt on their respective managerial choices.
Some of the names on this list, like Dan Jennings and Pat Murphy, never really had much of a chance due to the interim tags placed upon them earlier in the season.
There's also Brad Ausmus, who will likely become a victim to a new regime taking over in 2016.
And, of course, Matt Williams and Bryan Price are likely to be let go due to disappointing seasons with extremely talented rosters.
What other managers should be nervous heading into the offseason? Should any of these managers get another opportunity next season? Let us know in the comments section below.
Let's dive right in with the two interim managers on the list.
