Milwaukee, WI (My Sportsbook) - Jerry Royster will not return as the manager of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2003. The Brewers confirmed Wednesday that Royster's contract will not be renewed for next season. The 49-year-old Royster took over as manager on an interim basis when Davey Lopes was fired on April 18 after the team got off to the worst start in franchise history (3-12). Milwaukee finished the 2002 season with the worst record in franchise history at 56-106. The Brewers will hold a 1:00 p.m. (et) news conference to detail the move. New general manager Doug Melvin is expected to be in attendance. |
