Last week, the Tigers fired longtime general manager Al Avila. Every time there’s a front-office opening, a lot of names associated with the Dodgers come up in the discussion. In recent years, both the Giants and Braves filled GM vacancies with Dodgers executives — Farhan Zaidi in San Francisco and Alex Anthopoulos in Atlanta.
So with an opening in Detroit, it’s not surprising that some Dodgers names are coming up. According to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, at least four current members of the Dodgers front office are on the Tigers radar.
More than any particular background or experience level, the Tigers are likely to pursue a forward-thinking GM who knows how to run a modern organization.
