Overview

  • LeMahieu, named manager Wednesday, will lead the Royal Oak Leprechauns in the Northwoods League, a summer college wood-bat circuit.
  • The Leprechauns open at home on May 25 at Memorial Park in Royal Oak.
  • The team says he will keep pursuing opportunities in professional baseball while he manages.
  • He was designated for assignment by the Yankees in July 2025 and released a day later, and he is still owed $15 million for 2026 under his contract.
