Yost relieved of managerial post

MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers today announced that Ned Yost has been dismissed from his position as manager of the Club. The announcement was made by Brewers Executive Vice President and General Manager, Doug Melvin.

"This was a very difficult move to make, and we appreciate all of the work that Ned has done to develop this team into a contender," Melvin said. "In the end, this was a collaborative decision made to put our Club in the best position for the final two weeks of the season."

Dale Sveum, the Brewers third base coach, will take over in an interim role as manager for the remainder of the season. Bench Coach Ted Simmons has been reassigned to an advisory role. Any other coaching changes will be announced later.



2 months too late.

Wow. Good thing to send Ned packing, but with two weeks left?

I'm not sure about this one...


What happens to the Brewers if they fail to make the playoffs this year?

2 MONTHS too late?  I'd argue it's 2 YEARS too late.

BEST. DAY. EVER.

1) Ned is done.
2) The Brewers can't lose today.

+1...I thought I was the only one who thought that Ned was the weak link on the Brewers.

Since it was already September 15th, I thought he wouldn't be gone until the end of the season.  Hopefully not too late..
