Jon Heyman is breaking news via Twitter.
He is saying that the Indians are going to hire Manny Acta as their manager.
More on this as it develops, but what's causing this if it happens to be true?

Did something happen with Don Mattingly that has effectively ended the interview process?
Only time will tell, but if Heyman's report is true, Manny Acta will be the next manager of the Cleveland Indians.
