The Detroit Tigers have hired Anthony Iapoce — a former hitting coach with the Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox — as Triple-A Toledo's manager for the 2023 season, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Iapoce replaces Lloyd McClendon, who guided the Mud Hens to an 87-63 record last season. The Tigers parted ways with McClendon, Toledo's second skipper in as many years, after the 2022 season. Tony Cappuccilli served as McClendon's bench coach.
The Tigers have not confirmed Iapoce's hire, but the agreement to hire him has been in place since at least early December.
