Media Access to Tigers Coaching Staff

Post by Bobbert » Tue Mar 16, 2021 6:42 pm

Dan Dickerson has started to sound very frustrated about Detroit Tiger manager A.J. Hinch's policy of being the only media contact on his coaching staff.

I brainstormed a little about why Hinch is doing this:
  • He wants to be as available and straightforward as possible as he re-starts his career after the problems in Houston.
  • He wants to completely manage the message as he starts his career here.
  • He's a micromanager and/or control freak. His answers are very thorough and detailed—a sign of someone who is watching everything.
I wonder if this will continue in to the regular season, and if the media has any grievance rights about it.
