Tigers hire Jeff Greenberg as GM, adding former Cubs and Blackhawks executive
Associated PressDETROIT — The Detroit Tigers have hired Jeff Greenberg to be their general manager, adding a former Chicago Cubs and Blackhawks executive to work with team president of baseball operations Scott Harris. “It’s an extraordinary honor to take on this role with one of the most historic franchises in Major League Baseball,” Greenberg said Thursday. The Cubs hired him in 2012 as a baseball operations intern and worked his way up to become assistant general manager in 2020 during his 11-season run with the franchise that included a World Series title that ended an 108-year drought. “I’m thrilled to add an executive of Jeff’s quality to our baseball operations leadership team,” said Harris, who was hired a year ago after being the San Francisco Giants’ general manager for three years.
