Detroit — The Tigers Tuesday night added the final piece of manager AJ Hinch’s coaching staff, hiring former Blue Jays outfielder Jose Cruz, Jr., as assistant hitting coach.
Just a few months back, the Tigers drafted Cruz’s son, shortstop Trei Cruz, in the third round.

“We’re excited to round out our major league staff with the addition of José Cruz Jr.,” Hinch said in a statement released by the club. “He was widely respected as a player both on and off the field and, spending his entire life around the game, has built a great ability to connect with both young and veteran players.
