More Tigers: Should Detroit re-sign Pena?
Renteria is considered a strong candidate for a number of reasons, but is helped by his ability to speak Spanish; Buster Olney of ESPN reported that the Cubs want to hire a bilingual manager. Ausmus has had the reputation of a smart baseball mind since his playing days, and spent three years of his 18-year career with Detroit.
Detroit has already interviewed hitting coach Lloyd McClendon and Dodgers third base coach Tim Wallach for the position left vacant after Jim Leyland retired.
