Do people really believe they worry about things like that? Almost all of these managers have pensions from their playing days and they've made enough from their coaching and managerial careers to be set financially.Have any managers ever ended up bankrupt from getting fired? COME ON!!

Nah, the managers don't worry about it. Actually, most of the ones who are going to be fired probably kinda know it already. You don't see nearly as many managers fired during the season anymore, thanks to MLB's rule that teams have to interview at least one minority candidate when hiring a manager. As a result, more managers get strung along, and they know they can't do much about it so they don't worry.

I'm sure they're mostly doing well financially, but I think they still worry about losing their jobs. I wouldn't go bankrupt from being fired, either, but that doesn't mean I "don't care" about losing my job.
If you're a baseball manager, you're in the game to win. Being fired shows that you've likely failed, and none of these guys want that.

Most managers are former players and have had a competitive desire to win all of their lives. They got their managerial job with the goal of helping their team win, and getting fired means they failed to reach that goal. They have also probably been involved with baseball all their lives. So it does matter to them, and it's not about money.

Good answer Craig S. After their playing days, these guys could have left the game - but they didn't. Obviously these guys are still in the game because they love it. And who would want to be fired from a job that you love. It's not about the money.

Yah, an MLB manager is a high-profile job so even if they couldn't get another job managing a pro ball club again, they could get another decent paying job in the sports world---barring them being really weird or mental or anything like that :)

All managers and coaches are hired to be fired.
