BREAKING: Blackhawks AGM Ditches the Team for Another Sport

Jeff Greenberg, known for his executive roles in both hockey and baseball, is making a significant career pivot. The 37-year-old has agreed to become the new General Manager of the MLB's Detroit Tigers, leaving his post as the Associate General Manager of the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks.

Prior to joining the Blackhawks in 2022, Greenberg had an 11-year tenure with the Chicago Cubs, culminating in his role as the team's Assistant General Manager.

During his time with the Cubs, he was part of the management team that ended one of the most infamous championship droughts in North American sports, capturing the World Series title in 2016.

Although Greenberg had interviewed internally for the Blackhawks' GM position after the resignation of Stan Bowman, the job ultimately went to Kyle Davidson. During his brief stint in the NHL, he aimed to apply his analytical skills and developmental focus to strengthen both the Blackhawks' main roster and their depth pool.

As he takes the helm of the Tigers, Greenberg will likely shift his focus toward nurturing Detroit's young talents. The Tigers' farm system has shown remarkable improvement, jumping from a preseason ranking of 25th to 13th by MLB.com in August.

With 2020 1st Overall Pick Spencer Torkelson and rising star Riley Greene in the lineup—despite their bouts of inconsistency—Greenberg's analytical and developmental prowess could be key in elevating the team to new heights.
