Tigers Dump David Pearson as Manager Wednesday, June 14th, 2017 A "difference of opinion" has cost David Pearson his job as manager of the Hanshin Tigers. Following a postgame meeting with front office officials and ownership, Pearson left the ballpark without addressing reporters. It was then revealed by the team's general manager that Pearson had been dismissed from the club. Few details are available on the firing at this time. "Basically, it just came down to a difference of philosophy between David and management," the general manager said. When reached for comment at his Hanshin home, Pearson refused to comment on the firing other than to say, "We just mutually parted ways. That's it." The club will begin a search for Pearson's successor immediately. Several interviews have already been set up, but team officials declined to say who is on their list of possible replacements. |
