As soon as the Tigers made Al Avila the new general manager in August of 2015, the writing was on the wall: Alex Avila was pretty much done as a Detroit Tiger. His father has never been comfortable with the situation, not from the beginning, not since the team decided to draft Alex Avila in 2008, and the frequent accusations found in various corners of Tigers Internet over the years that "ALEX IS ONLY ON ARE TEEM BECUZ NEPOTISM" certainly gave weight to the Elder Avila's concerns. Oh, Tigers Internet, you are such a hot mess, now and forever.
