Gabe Alvarez, former manager of Detroit's Triple-A team, was fired after sending an inappropriate text message to a female colleague. The incident was reported to the organization's human resources department and was deemed a violation of club policy. Alvarez, who had previously worked with the Tigers and San Diego Padres, stated that the text was intended as a lighthearted joke and he immediately sought to clarify his intentions. The organization has been dealing with reports of inappropriate behavior from men towards women in the past year.
