					|   | Zapata Bounced, Dayton Looks for New Skipper Saturday, December 19th , 2048
 He was popular with players and fans, but that wasn't enough: John Zapata has been relieved of his duties as the manager of the Dayton Dragons.
 
 "He's a good guy, but sometimes that's not enough," said Dragons GM Joe Unknown in prepared remarks. "We needed to win a ballgame or two more often."
 
 According to sources, the team plans on interviewing candidates over the next couple of days before naming Zapata's replacement.
