The sample size was small, and of course pre-selected for the wisest and most knowledgeable fans of the Detroit Tigers fans by virtue of it being a Bless You Boys poll, but by and large opinions of manager AJ Hinch proved very positive in our recent polling. That’s good, because he’s here for the long haul.
On Monday evening, the Detroit Tigers announced that they had signed Hinch to a long-term contract extension. His previous deal ran through 2025, and as reported by Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, the new deal was actually completed the week after the 2023 season ended.
