LAKELAND, Fla. — Ron Gardenhire knows last year's Tigers record was ugly.
"After you lose 114 games, it's not exactly where you wanna go out and give someone an extension," he told WXYZ in Lakeland on Sunday.
Gardenhire is in the final year of the three-year contract he signed with the Tigers. He said there's been no talk of what's next for him in the dugout.
"Let's play this thing out. As we go along, if he wants me to talk to him about staying, that's great. I love it here," Gardenhire added.
His own future is in question, but Gardenhire is excited about the Tigers' young talent this spring.
"We've had them up here for a little bit last year in spring training, and Al was right away, 'Get 'em out. You can't have 'em,'" he told WXYZ in Lakeland. "This year they're gonna get a little bit longer stay."
