What wizardry was this? Certain that the White Sox would hire the former Astros skipper, we didn't really allow ourselves to hope this would happen. Now, as we record on the evening of Thursday, October 29th, A.J. Hinch appears to be a lock to become the 49th manager in Detroit Tigers franchise history. For this episode we're fortunate to be joined the Tigers beat writer for the Athletic Detroit, Cody Stavenhagen. He'll provide his own inside insight into how this decision came to pass. -White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf goes old-school, does it his way. -A.J. Hinch is coming to Detroit (we're 99 percent sure). -We'll explore how Hinch can overcome his damaged reputation, and why he feels like such a perfect, and necessary, fit for the Tigers. -We'll preview what promises to be a slow moving offseason market. -Finally we'll talk a bit of instructional league ball and Tigers farm system and player development staff.
