When will the first MLB manager be fired this off-season?

Settled as Other

No reports of any managers being fired before the start of the Series.

Background:

With many teams having disappointing sesasons, there are many managers on the hot seat. Most notable are the Diamondbacks, Rockies and Indians. No one can be considered safe. The Brewers fired Ned Yost when they were only 1.5 games behind in the wild-card race.

The question is will one or more managers be fired before the World Series starts? No interim managers (such as Dale Sveum) will count. The off-season will start immediately after a team's final game.

Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source. Note - it should be reported that the manager was either fired or forced to resign (i.e. left against his own will).
