This time (so far) it’s not Ron Washington or Walt Weiss that the Atlanta Braves could lose.

According to a report from Detroit Tigers beat reporter for MLB.com Jason Beck, that team has spoken with Atlanta Braves catching coach Sal Fasano.

Tigers have also talked with Braves coach Sal Fasano about their managerial job, according to sources.

He’s not nearly the only candidate, for this job, but it is interesting that the Tigers would walk to talk with the former Royal/Athletic/Rockie/Angel/Oriole/Phillie/Yankee/Blue Jays/Indian who managed to cobble together a career of 11 seasons — spread over 13 years.
