Tigers Hire Jeff Greenberg GM

Jeff Greenberg Named General Manager of the Detroit Tigers.
IlitchNewsHub

After a year-long vacancy in the role of General Manager, the Detroit Tigers today announced that Jeff Greenberg, an exceptionally innovative and progressive executive, has agreed to take on the role. Greenberg will be the 20th General Manager in the 123-year history of the club, dating back to 1901.

Greenberg, 37, will report to President of Baseball Operations, Scott Harris, and joins the Tigers after spending the last 16 months as an Associate General Manager with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Prior to joining the Blackhawks, Greenberg spent 11 seasons with the Chicago Cubs, including his final three seasons as an Assistant General Manager. He also held roles as Director of Pro Scouting and Baseball Operations, Director of Baseball Operations and Assistant to the General Manager. While with the Cubs, Greenberg played a key role in creating the systems and strategies that helped the Cubs scout and develop talent, leading to five postseason appearances during his tenure, including the 2016 World Series championship.

?I?m thrilled to add an executive of Jeff?s quality to our baseball operations leadership team,? said Harris. ?Throughout this search, it was important for me to find someone who can fit seamlessly into the culture we?re building here.
I also wanted to bring in someone with a fresh perspective and new ideas that could challenge us on a daily basis and make us all better as we strive towards our goal of bringing postseason baseball back to Detroit. We?re excited to welcome Jeff, his wife, Erin, and their sons, Leo and Sam to the Tigers family.?

In his most recent role with the Blackhawks, Greenberg oversaw the strategic systems and processes in hockey operations. He worked across all functions of hockey operations, including scouting, development, coaching and operations to establish and optimize a modern, continually evolving approach.

?It?s an extraordinary honor to take on this role with one of the most historic franchises in Major League Baseball,? said Greenberg. ?Throughout my conversations with Scott, Chris Ilitch and the rest of the team with the Tigers,
it became clear that this organization is headed in a great direction with an incredible culture of development and innovation that I?m excited to be part of. Another constant message in those conversations was that Tigers fans want to see winning baseball deep into October. I?m excited to get to work with our front office on off-season and longer-term plans to make that our reality.?

Before his time in Chicago, Greenberg was an intern with the Pittsburgh Pirates (2006, 2008), Arizona Diamondbacks (2010) and Major League Baseball (2009-11).

A native of Pittsburgh, PA, Greenberg is a graduate of Columbia Law School (JD, 2011) and the University of Pennsylvania (BA, 2008).

Every once in awhile, our regular schedule gets interrupted as big news breaks. And today, it?s a good thing.

The end of the year brings us another change to the Detroit Tigers? organization. A move that has been long overdue.

The Tigers now have a new GM.

Yesterday, I blogged about the hiring of Jeff Greenberg. His background, his history and the skills he brings to the table. Most importantly, how he will improve the team.

LOOSE ENDS.
Totally Tigers

It has been nearly a year since the Detroit Tigers? PoBO Scott Harris officially started his duties. Upon being hired in late September 2022, he took a number of weeks to explore each department and meet with employees before making any moves.

Harris implemented a number of changes to the organization in his first year but try as he might, there are still a number of factors he inherited from his predecessor that are difficult to either solve or remove. Especially when they pertain to the players Al Avila acquired.

Starting this week and running through the winter, he, new GM Jeff Greenberg and manager A. J.Hinch will have to decide how to handle each. Whether they can maximize their performances or are better off without them on the roster.

There are 4 players at the forefront of their decisions. Let?s review each along with the factors that need to be considered.
