Greenberg is new Tigers GM
DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers hired Jeff Greenberg to be their general manager on Thursday, adding a former Chicago Cubs and Blackhawks executive to work with team president of baseball operations Scott Harris.
"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.
Detroit is tied with the Los Angeles Angels for the longest active postseason drought that dates to 2014. The Tigers are headed toward their seventh straight season with a losing record.
The Pittsburgh native, and son of one-time Altoona Curver owner Chuck Greenberg, earned a law degree at Columbia after graduating from Pennsylvania. While attending the Ivy League schools, he served as an intern for his hometown Pirates, Arizona Diamondbacks and Major League Baseball.
Greenberg was the Blackhawks' associate general manager for 1.5 years after working in baseball for 15-plus years.
