The Detroit Tigers fired Triple-A manager Gabe Alvarez on Tuesday, saying the decision stemmed from a 'violation of club policy.'
Alvarez, 52, was in his second season as manager of the Toledo Mud Hens, who had a 17-16 record through Monday's minor league play and were tied for fourth place in the International League West.
'We have terminated the contract of Gabe Alvarez as the manager of Triple A Toledo due to a violation of club policy,' the Tigers said in a statement. 'Mike Hessman will serve as interim manager. We will have no further comment.'
A major leaguer for parts of three seasons, Alvarez was a career .222 hitter with seven home runs and 33 RBIs over 92 games for the Tigers (1998-2000) and San Diego Padres (2000). During nine seasons in the minor leagues, Alvarez batted .278 with 114 home runs.
A second-round pick out of Southern California in 1995, Alvarez served as an assistant coach at his alma mater starting in 2010. He was hired by the Tigers to be the manager at Double-A Erie starting in the 2022 season and was promoted to manager at Toledo in October of 2024.
