Demand Chris Illitch to Sell or Relinquish Control of the Detroit Tigers

The Issue

As a lifelong Tigers fan, I have watched this beloved baseball team transform from one of the worst in the league to one of the most promising. This past season marked a significant shift for us - we emerged as one of the hottest teams in baseball. Now, we are at a critical turning point that will determine the future success of our team. We are blessed to have an array of talented young players on low pay contracts, presenting a rare opportunity for flexibility in our financial situation. However, our progress is threatened by the critical financial decisions under the ownership of Chris Illitch. The Tigers have struggled for too long under his tenure. Despite our recent successes, Illitch has failed to make any significant financial investment in the team. Players, coaches, GM's, writers, and fans agree - it's time for the Tigers to make a push for a better roster. Yet, Illitch has not shown this same conviction. His reluctance to invest in the team demonstrates a lack of personal commitment, sowing uncertainty about his intentions when our young talents inevitably demand their fair worth. For the sake of the team's future, we demand Chris Illitch sell the Detroit Tigers or sell enough shares to relinquish control of financial decisions. Our love for this team is unwavering and it's time we prioritize an ownership as committed as we are. Sign this petition to demand a change in ownership for our Tigers.
