— Milwaukee Brewers (@Brewers) May 4, 2015Milwaukee's move comes just 25 games into the season, but the Brewers (7-18) are currently the worst team in baseball. They were 341-331 in Roenicke's four-plus years as manager.
Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said in a statement that the team's decision to fire Roenicke went beyond its record.
"This has been a difficult start to the season, something that we did not anticipate," Melvin said. "Over roughly the last 100 games, we have not performed at the level that we should. ... The reasons for our disappointing start are many, but we determined it's in the best interests of the club to make this move."
