The Detroit Tigers fired Triple-A manager Gabe Alvarez after an investigation into alleged harassment claims by a female employee, The Athletic reported Wednesday.
The Tigers announced Tuesday that Alvarez's contract had been terminated due to an undisclosed 'violation of club policy.'
Alvarez, 52, was in his second season as manager of the Toledo Mud Hens, who were 17-16 under his leadership.
Sources told The Athletic that Alvarez was fired following a human resources investigation into the complaint.
Neither the Tigers nor Alvarez and his representatives responded to The Athletic's requests for 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.
