Dan Gilbert told the Free Press he is selling Greektown Casino.

But that doesn't mean he's trying to buy the Detroit Tigers.

In an interview with Free Press business columnist John Gallagher on Tuesday, Gilbert said there is no such deal in the works to try to purchase the baseball organization.

The Tigers were bought by Mike Ilitch in 1992 for $82 million and bequeathed to his son, Chris, after Mike's death in 2017.
