Henning: Race tightens as Tigers work toward hiring a new general manager

News leaks are verboten within Ilitch Holdings. There is a furious search for a new Tigers general manager moving closer to completion, but no one is talking.

A best guess is the Tigers will move this month, with the first half of September a more likely target for naming a new front-office leader. There is abundant business ahead and a massive retooling likely as the Tigers recover from a 2022 season that has been nothing less than devastating.
