The Detroit Tigers are nearly three weeks into their offseason.
A lot is happening behind the scenes. This weekend, the Tigers informed senior director of medical services Kevin Rand, who spent 20 years with the organization, that his contract would not be renewed for the 2023 season, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Head athletic trainer Doug Teter, whose contract isn't expiring, is transitioning to a role in Lakeland and will replace Rand, though his official title is undetermined.
It's also unclear if the Tigers have a new athletic trainer.
Earlier this offseason, the Tigers fired amateur scouting director Scott Pleis.
