I am not saying he will or won't be fired but hard to see what is his fault this year.
The team, fans and media that thought this was a WS contending team were relying on everything going right and lots of guys bucking the trend/keeping up career year level numbers.
I think that AA went out on a limb to hire him and seemed to talk about how his personal relationship and what he saw out of him last time he was in TO was a big reason he was hired will buy him time from AA to at least the end of the year. With Rogers being a corporation now, not one man, also much less that they have a knee jerk reaction to force AA to make a move.
