WE NEED IT BACK. The current owner of the Detroit Tigers, Chris Llitch, has officially announced his decision to sell the team.
The owner of the Detroit Tigers, Christopher Ilitch, will invest when “time is right” and believes in the process.
The article was written in 2020. Following a $30 million reduction in payroll from 2023 to 2024 as a result of the Cabrera salary rolloff, Urshela, Maeda, and Flaherty—while acceptable—were not what I had hoped for. When will it be appropriate? To spend money?
When will “the right time” arrive? Will we wait until all of the stars who are currently playing for league minimum wages have to be paid? (Perez, Carpenter, Greene, Skubal, and possibly Tork).
I didn’t anticipate a decrease in our payroll. And into Chris’s pockets exactly.
An outsider who grew up in Detroit with Victor, JV, Max, and Miggy is curious about the opinions of the community regarding this roster construction.
Until Sheila Hamp wins a Super Bowl or two, I believe Mike Illich was the greatest team owner in Detroit history. How is this change in management received locally?
It appears that his goal is to make enough money and viewers to break even. but is unconcerned about genuinely being at the top.
The Marlins are managed in this manner. I have no desire to be the Marlins. Do people still believe that about us? I have no idea where to look for long-term hope. Even though I haven’t lived in Detroit for 14 years, my fandom will never waver.
Despite a difficult start, owner Christopher Ilitch is “extremely pleased” with the Tigers’ progress.

DETROIT: Despite the Detroit Tigers’ difficult start to the season, owner Christopher Ilitch expressed his satisfaction with the team’s development, calling it “very pleased.”
The Tigers (29-45) are expected to miss the playoffs for the eighth straight year and lose slightly under 100 games. After acquiring Eduardo Rodriguez and Javier Baez as free agents this winter, they had high hopes going into the new year.
Questioning them on their progress on Friday at a news conference to introduce new Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde was Ilitch, who also owns the NHL’s Red Wings.

Ilitch expressed his satisfaction with the progress made by both the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings. “Our team has had a very slow start to the season, but some of the young guys who have emerged and developed, and so on and so forth, are really making good progress.”
The Kansas City Royals will be the Tigers’ first opponent at Comerica Park on Friday night as they begin a seven-game homestand. Since Riley Greene, a rookie, made his Major League debut on June 18, they are 5-5.
