Report: Allegations Made Against Tigers Organization Employees Past and Current

Since 2023, at least eight men linked to the Tigers and Ilitch Sports faced misconduct allegations leading to terminations and policy changes, including a new 12-week paid maternity leave.

  • A report published on Wednesday detailed allegations of sexual misconduct by multiple men, including analyst Cameron Maybin, within the Detroit Tigers organization and its affiliates.
  • The allegations emerged from an investigation that began in April 2023 after an HR official questioned employees about Maybin's behavior amid broader accusations involving at least eight men connected to Ilitch Sports & Entertainment.
  • Seven employees tied to the Tigers' business or broadcast network resigned, were fired, or had their contracts not renewed, including Maybin and former assistant general manager Sam Menzin, who sent lewd photos to female colleagues.
  • The Tigers confirmed seven reported cases of misconduct involving former employees, all of which were investigated promptly and led to terminations. They highlighted their dedication to maintaining a workplace free from discrimination and harassment and denied the specific allegations involving vice president Ben Fidelman, stating that his case was thoroughly reviewed and found to be without merit.
  • These revelations suggest systemic issues in the workplace culture at IS+E, prompting the organization to invest in support programs and open dialogue initiatives while facing criticism over prior lack of protections like maternity leave.
