Detroit — Don’t hold your breath waiting for the Tigers to hire a new manager. It’s going to take a minute.
“We are still collecting names,” general manager Al Avila said Friday in his post-season Zoom conference. “I have long list of names. We will do our research and whittle it down and then start the interview process…We are not in a rush. We’re going to take our time with it and check everything out.”
Avila didn’t reveal all the names on the list, but he did say that both Alex Cora and A.J. Hinch, currently serving suspensions for their roles in the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal, will both be considered for the Tigers’ job.
