The struggling Kansas City Royals have dumped Trey Hillman and replaced him with former Brewers skipper Ned Yost. But don’t expect Hillman to be the only MLB manager to be sent packing. There are plenty of other managers who also find themselves standing on thin ice. And so without adieu, here are the managers who I think will be gone before season’s end.

Kansas City Royals Fire Manager Trey Hillman
Royals manager Trey Hillman has just been relieved of his duties, effective immediately. Ned Yost will take over as the new manager to replace Hillman. Hillman’s record was 151-206 in his two-plus seasons as the head guy in Kansas City.
He had been in hot water for quite some time after the team once again to off to a slow start to the 2010 season, winning 12 out of their first 35 games.
The firing of Hillman continues the revolving door of managers that the Royals have had in recent years.
His two predecessors, Buddy Bell and Tony Pena, only lasted a combined seven seasons with the club.
On the other hand, new manager Ned Yost brings a lot of experience to the organization and team as he used to manage the Milwaukee Brewers from 2003 to 2008.
