Overview
- The Tigers ended Gabe Alvarez’s contract for a violation of club policy, according to the team.
- Reporting from The Athletic says the dismissal followed a human-resources probe into alleged harassment of a female employee.
- The organization has not released details about the complaint or its findings.
- Mike Hessman takes over the Toledo Mud Hens on an interim basis, a key role since Triple-A managers guide players closest to the majors.
- Alvarez had been viewed as a rising figure after back-to-back Double-A titles and his 2025 promotion, and the case draws new scrutiny after prior misconduct issues, including a 2025 assistant GM resignation over lewd messages.
