Detroit Tigers' Ron Gardenhire on contract talks: 'I don't do that during the year'

Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire hasn't spoken with his boss about a contract extension.

Halfway through a 60-game schedule amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he has a lot to focus on. The trade deadline is coming Monday, and certain members of the Tigers could be on the move. He is handling two top pitching prospects in Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal.

And he wants to win games.

But he hasn't spoken to general manager Al Avila about his future.

"I don't do that during the year anyway, so it's not something I'm worried about at all," Gardenhire, 62, said Saturday.
