Jeff Greenberg, who has spearheaded the Blackhawks’ analytics development growth over the past year, did too well for the Hawks to keep him.
Greenberg was named the Detroit Tigers’ general manager Thursday — minutes into the first session of Hawks training camp — after just 16 months as the Hawks’ associate GM.
The move represents a return to baseball for the 37-year-old executive, who spent 11 years with the Cubs — working underneath Scott Harris, formerly the Cubs’ assistant GM who has since become the Tigers’ director of baseball operations — before joining the Hawks in April 2022.
