The Detroit Tigers finalized their coaching staff for the minor league system on Monday. Most of the big changes were already announced early in the offseason, but they’ve certainly shaken things up with new assignments for their managers. The development system is retaining a lot of continuity though, as the Tigers have a pretty solid group of managers and coaches who have been in the system for years now, developing along with the player development system.
The biggest change is Gabe Alvarez who takes over the Toledo Mud Hens from Tim Federowicz this year. Alvarez has led the Erie SeaWolves to back-to-back Eastern League titles.
