Jeff Greenberg withdraws from consideration for Detroit Red Wings general manager role

Detroit Tigers general manager Jeff Greenberg has removed himself from consideration for the vacant general manager position with the Detroit Red Wings. Greenberg confirmed his decision to the organization on Monday, September 7, stating that he remains committed to his current role with the Tigers. The Red Wings have been searching for a new general manager since July 15, when the team announced that Steve Yzerman would not continue in the role. Although Greenberg was considered a viable candidate due to his previous tenure as an associate general manager with the Chicago Blackhawks, he is no longer part of the search. The Red Wings are expected to continue their candidate evaluation process as training camp approaches on September 17.
