A source familiar with the Tigers’ conversations who asked to remain nameless said Farrell was not a fit for a Tigers job that, for at least the next two seasons, will amount to a heavy reconstruction project.
The Tigers have interviewed three internal candidates — Lloyd McClendon, Dave Clark, and Omar Vizquel, all of whom were coaches on the staff of departed manager Brad Ausmus.
