Has Chris Ilitch's run as President of the Detroit Tigers doomed the franchise?
Since Mike Ilitch's passing in 2017, the Detroit Tigers have been abysmal. Failed trades, terrible free agent signings, and poor development are aplenty.

February 20 in Tigers and mlb history:
1887: New York Giants shortstop and team captain John Ward thinks that the open sale of players has gone too far. "I wouldn't play in Kansas City under any circumstances," he says, but a club could force him to play there or not play at all.
1890: Sam Rice is born in Morocco, Indiana. A quick outfielder with a great arm, Rice will lead the American League in hits twice, in stolen bases once, and collect at least 200 hits on six occasions, while finishing in the top ten in batting average eight times, collect 2,987 hits, bat over .300 15 times, and .293 or better his other 5 seasons. Rice will gain election to the Hall of Fame in 1963.
1923: Future Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson becomes president and owner of the Boston Braves. Mathewson purchases the team for $300,000 with New York attorney Judge Emil Fuchs and Bostonian James McDonough. The deal does not include Braves Field, which still belongs to James Gaffney. There are also 85 minority stockholders.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/b...yMathewson.jpg
1929: The Boston Red Sox announce they will play Sunday games (allowed for the first time in Boston) at Braves Field, because Fenway Park is located too close to a church.
1943: Chicago Cubs owner Philip Wrigley and Brooklyn Dodgers executive Branch Rickey draw up charter for the "All-American Girls Softball League", which will eventually become the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). The league, originally conceived in the belief that the major leagues would suspend play because of World War II, will operate from 1943 to 1954 around the Chicago area. When the league changes its name and switches to hardball, the pitching distance is 40 feet and bases 68 feet apart. After struggling through poor attendance in its early seasons, the league will draw over one million fans in 1948.
1953: August A. Busch buys the St. Louis Cardinals from Fred Saigh for $3.75 million and pledges not to move the team from St. Louis, Missouri.
1953: The U.S. Court of Appeals rules that organized baseball is a sport and not a business, affirming the 25-year-old Supreme Court ruling. This effectively dismisses the antitrust suits of Jack Corbett and former Brooklyn Dodgers minor leaguer Walter Kowalski. The $300,000 suit of Corbett, the owner of the El Paso Texans, is based on his belief that he lost money when Major League Baseball prohibited him from signing several players suspended for participation in the Mexican League. Kowalski's $150,000 suit is based on the general principles of the antitrust and restraint-of-trade laws. Their lawyer in these cases is Frederic Johnson, who also represents player Danny Gardella in his suit against Major League Baseball.
1958: The Los Angeles Coliseum Commission approves a two-year pact for use of its facility by the Dodgers.
1963: After leading the San Francisco Giants to the pennant the previous season, Willie Mays becomes the highest-paid player in baseball, signing a $100,000 contract.
1966: The American League officially announces the hiring of Emmett Ashford, who will become the first black umpire in major league history.
1979: The Detroit Tigers signed Fred Holdsworth as a free agent.
1983: Justin Verlander born in Manakin Sabot, Virginia.
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/G0YAAOSwuSlhnbjA/s-l1600.jpg
1988: The Detroit Tigers signed Luis Salazar as a free agent.
1990: The Detroit Tigers signed Felipe Lira as an amateur free agent.
1991: John Fetzer dies in Honolulu at age 89. Tigers owner from 1961-1983.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4T7KNWW...g&name=360x360
2002: The Detroit Tigers signed Bill Simas as a free agent.
2010: Free agent OF Johnny Damon reportedly signs a one-year $8 million contract with the Detroit Tigers.
2015: Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announces a series of measures to quicken the pace of the game. Chief among them are that a batter will need to keep at least one foot in the batter's box at all times during an at-bat, and that the intermission between half innings will be strictly timed. Pitchers will be required to complete their warm-up pitches before there are only 30 seconds left before resumption of play, or risk forfeiting any unmade pitches. More dramatic changes, such as adding a pitch clock, are not introduced at this time. Violation of the new guidelines will result in fines, and not in game-related penalties.
2017: The Detroit Tigers signed Daniel Muno as a free agent.
2017: The Detroit Tigers signed Matt Murton as a free agent.
