Cleveland Indians fire manager Eric Wedge, staff
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on September 30th, 2009
Indians General Manager Mark Shapiro said “it was the right time” to fire manager Eric Wedge.
The official announcement of his dismissal came early this afternoon. Wedge’s staff also was fired. Wedge and his staff will finish the season, which includes a doubleheader against the White Sox today at Progressive Field and four games in Boston beginning Thursday.
“This is obviously an announcement I never envisioned having to make,” Shapiro said. “This is a very difficult day for me personally and professionally because of the type of person Eric is.”
It is not clear exactly when in recent days Shapiro informed Wedge of his decision. Wedge said that he only had wanted to know his status before the Indians departed for Boston.
