Intentionally walking Trae Turner on a 1-2 count only two give up a three-run jack to the next hitter will put you on the hot seat…just ask Tony La Russa.
La Russa defended his head-scratching decision following Thursday’s loss to the Dodgers, but it’s clear the White Sox trust in the 77-year-old manager is waning.
SportsBetting supports that notion with the odds it released Friday morning regarding the next MLB manager to be fired. La Russa is at the top of the list with +400, or 4-1 odds, while Dave Martinez (+500) and Scott Servais (+550) round out the Top 3.
There have been two skippers axed in the past two weeks (Angels and Phillies next full-time manager odds below), so who’s next? Every possibility is on the list.
