Detroit Tigers assistant general manager Sam Menzin has resigned from his position with team.
Menzin was expected to be fired by the organization after allegedly sending unsolicited lewd photos to colleagues in recent years, according to a report by the Athletic.
“Upon being made aware of the allegations as to Sam Menzin’s conduct, the Club promptly completed an investigation,” the Tigers said in a statement to the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network. “Before the Club could terminate Mr. Menzin, he resigned.”
The Tigers declined to elaborate on what they were investigating.
“This type of behavior is contrary to our standards and has absolutely no place within our organization,” the Tigers’ statement continued. “We have a positive and safe culture for our colleagues and will continue to emphasize respect, inclusion, and professionalism.”
