Alan Trammell
Former Detroit Tigers shortstop and team manager Alan Trammell is returning to Detroit.
Trammell has been named a special assistant to team president, CEO and general manager Dave Dombrowski, the club announced Monday.
He'll assist in on-field duties at the major and minor league levels, be involved in all personnel meetings, travel throughout the minor league system and participate in community relations, ESPN says.
"I am very excited to be back on board with the Tigers," said Trammell, 56. "It is an honor to return to Detroit and I am looking forward to working with Dave and contributing to the organization."
Trammell spent the past four seasons as the bench coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was fired along with manager Kirk Gibson this past season.
