Atlanta — The Tigers have hired former big-league pitcher Kyle Hendricks as a special assistant to president Scott Harris. The news was first reported by The Athletic and confirmed by The News. Hendricks, nicknamed The Professor, has a long history with Harris and Tigers’ general manager Jeff Greenberg, pitching 11 seasons with the Chicago Cubs and playing a key role in the 2016 World Championship run.
It remains unclear what the scope of his duties will be, but clearly his expertise is on the pitching side. Chris. McCosky@detroitnews.
