Pending a change, it appears that the Detroit Tigers wasted no time after the season ended to get their next manager, AJ Hinch.
Just days after the World Series ended, the Detroit Tigers moved quickly to hire the 41st manager in franchise history, AJ Hinch. The former Houston Astros manager, who played for the Tigers very briefly in 2003, becomes the 7th active skipper who has managed a World Series winner.
