 | Spence Nixed as Manager by Buffaloes
Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013: ORIX has fired manager Edwin Spence. "We were not doing the things you've got to do every day," the Buffaloes general manager told reporters. "We saw that things were not going to change. We had huge expectations coming into the season and we did not live up to them." The current coaching staff will be assigned to run the ballclub in the interim until a new manager can be hired. Spence was told of his dismissal yesterday morning and was not available for comment. The ORIX spokesman called it a "sensitive and emotional" meeting with Spence -- too sensitive to bring up whether Spence would be offered another job in the Buffaloes system.
