Brad Ausmus, Detroit Tigers Offseason, MLB Playoffs, Cookie Johnson, Current State Special, and Odell Beckham Junior.

On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin"...He's back. Brace yourself Tigers fans, because Brad Ausmus is returning to run the team next year. Hear a surprising take from frequent critic Al Martin and a surprising concurrence from engineer Isaac Constans. Who were the other candidates and did the Tigers front office make the right move for the team? Then, prepare to fold back the flaps on the Magic Johnson story, as Current Sports airs an extended Current State special, with Scott Pohl talking with Cookie Johnson, wife of Lansing legend Magic Johnson, about her new book, "Believing in Magic." Finally, Al and Isaac go on story time for the latest wide receiving phenom and prima danna, Odell Beckham Jr., who Isaac has a close connection to.
