The Tigers announced a number of moves Thursday in its baseball operations department.
Among them: Former Tigers catcher Lance Parrish, who spent the last six seasons as a manager in Detroit's farm system, is now special assistant to the executive vice president of baseball operations and general manager.
Parrish spent the last two seasons at Single-A West Michigan, and also managed at Double-A Erie from 2014-17. He played 19 seasons in the majors, including 10 with the Tigers.
Brayan Pena replaces Parrish as the manager at West Michigan.
