One job with the least amount of security in sport is manager of a Major League Baseball team.
Performance has to meet expectations and, in some cases, exceed them. Each manager’s situation is different, but that’s the general idea.

Some managers are leading losing teams but remain safe, thanks to ownership indifference, while others are managing winning teams that need high-level performances in the postseason to survive.
Here, we rank the skippers most likely to get fired at the conclusion of the 2024 season. The expected postseason managers on the hot seat are in their own special category, plus honorable mentions.
