Kirk Gibson, who has waged a public battle against Parkinson's disease, will remain a member of Tigers organization as a special assistant to the GM.

Kirk Gibson and the Tigers made the joint announcement Monday. He will remain an adviser to the Tigers' front office.

In a joint statement on Monday, two-time World Series champion and legendary Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kirk Gibson, along with the Tigers and FanDuel Sports Network, announced that he will not be in the broadcast booth for the 2025 season.

For the second time this Spring Training, the Tigers find themselves having to pivot at third base. When Alex Bregman signed with the Red Sox on Feb. 15, opportunity opened for Jace Jung to take over the hot corner in Detroit for years to come.

The Detroit Tigers optioned Jace Jung to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, ending his chances of taking over the vacant starting third-base spot for Opening Day.

Without Jace Jung, the Detroit Tigers seem content with a platoon at third base of Zach McKinstry vs. right-handers and Andy Ibáñez vs. left-handers.
