“Just to try to head off any confusion: Crain’s reported today that AJ Hinch is selling his condo in Birmingham,” McCosky posted on X. “That has nothing to do with him managing the Tigers. As he stated clearly last month, he’s never been more fired up to manage the Tigers. He’s committed.”
“Hinch actually sold his condo for $2.25 million, per Craine’s. But his contract, we believe, runs through 2025. He’s not leaving.”
