The Detroit Tigers discussed with assistant general manager David Chadd a potential new role within the organization.
Instead, the Tigers and Chadd have mutually parted ways, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Chadd, who is well-respected within the scouting community, plans to pursue others opportunities in baseball. He had two years remaining on his contract.
The Tigers now have two assistant general managers — Sam Menzin and Jay Sartori — under new president of baseball operations Scott Harris.
Chadd, once known as former general manager Al Avila's right-hand man, joined the Tigers in November 2004 as vice president of amateur scouting and became vice president and assistant general manager in August 2015.
