The above is the only information I can find on the subject in the manual. My manager is 66 years old, but has positive grades in the skills I care most about. I assume that he won't retire in the middle of the season...but how worried should I be about the next offseason? I scanned the available managers and the pickings look pretty slim, so I am not looking forward to losing him... Updated Tuesday, October 24 2017 @ 1:47:39 pm PDT

He has an interesting scouting report that you may check. Age discrimination in some states is prohibited for folks 40 years old and up. Denver is considering replacing Johns due to performance because he has finished 2nd in the league for three years in a row.

The last sentence says, "He is getting to the age where his ability to manage is limited." http://brokenbat.org/manager/1388 @Ced - did Denny Johns have a visible drop in skills, or is it just an invisible penalty? Kind of curious now.

The scouting comment occurred when he turned age 75. I may hire someone new tomorrow based on this situation. We're preparing a severance package and some of the players are chipping in for an electric golf cart. Updated Thursday, October 26 2017 @ 3:58:00 pm PDT
