AL Manager of the Year Award Given to Carson
Wednesday, November 11th , 2026
When Robert Carson was hired to lead the Detroit Tigers, fans were expecting improvement over the last manager. Today, flanked by team officials, Carson accepted the American League Manager of the Year Award, noting the level of passion for the Detroit Tigers.
"The biggest challenge was the fans. I don't know how many times I was asked, if I thought the club was good enough. It was as if they expected failure. It was much easier to win over the ballplayers. Slowly but surely the fans began to believe in us."
Carson led Detroit to a first place finish in the American League Central Division. The Tigers ended up with a 101-61 record.
Carson is looking forward to the offseason. "We're reviewing our options. You never stand still in baseball. You either get better or worse, 'cause everyone else is out to get your free agents or deal for your prospects. It's going to be a challenge." But the skipper has more than proven he is equal to the task.
