The Tigers announced that they have agreed to extend manager Jim Leyland through the 2013 season (Twitter links). All of Leyland's coaches have also been invited back for 2013.
GM Dave Dombrowski recently said Leyland would be welcomed back for an eighth season in Detroit. Though the Tigers were swept in the World Series, they won their division and the American League pennant. In seven years since Leyland became the Tigers' manager, the team has a 607-528 record. Leyland, who turns 68 in December, has also managed the Pirates, Marlins and Rockies. He has said Detroit will be the final stop of his MLB managerial career.
Three managerial openings still exist around MLB. The Marlins, Rockies and Blue Jays continue searching for new managers.
Tom Gage of the Detroit News reported this morning that the decision had "been made" and Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com reported the sides had agreed to a deal.
