Tribe manager Wedge will survive
Quote:
The job security of Eric Wedge has been called into question in recent weeks, but Jon Heyman of SI.com reported that the Indians' manager will survive.
The Indians are just 12-21 after snapping a four-game losing streak Monday.
But several competing executives quizzed about Indians manager Wedge's status said they believe Wedge likely will remain. His relationship with GM Mark Shapiro was cited as a prime reason by several of them.
"He's always been very close to Mark. I'd be shocked (if Wedge was fired)," one competing GM told the website
This is the Indians' second straight horrendous start. Both times, a dismal bullpen has been one of the culprits (the staff's 5.86 ERA is second-worse to the Yankees).
SI.com noted other executives see the Indians' executive team as less likely to stubbornly stick with a losing hand and continue to suggest they can see staff ace Cliff Lee being among those to go in a trade.
