Sam Menzin’s Shocking Exit Leaves Tigers Reeling Amid Misconduct Scandal
So, here’s what’s been making serious waves in the baseball world — Sam Menzin, the assistant general manager of the Detroit Tigers, has abruptly resigned. And it’s not your typical mid-season career switch either. This resignation came just as the organization was preparing to fire him. Why? Well, Menzin was under investigation for allegedly sending unsolicited lewd photos to multiple women — including members of the Tigers’ own staff.
According to multiple reports, including a detailed piece from The Athletic , two former female employees of the Tigers revealed that Menzin sent them explicit images through Snapchat — a platform known for auto-deleting content after it’s viewed. These incidents reportedly date back as far as 2017. And what’s more concerning? A third woman, though not employed by the Tigers, came forward with a similar story, also pointing to Snapchat as the platform used.

Now, when questioned about these serious allegations, the Tigers organization issued a strong statement. They said that once they were informed, they conducted an immediate internal investigation. Before they could officially terminate Menzin, he resigned. The team emphasized that his behavior was completely unacceptable and runs contrary to the values they expect within their workplace — values like professionalism, inclusion, and respect.
What’s incredibly disappointing is the broader context here. Some of the women spoke out about why this wasn’t brought to light earlier. One of them pointed to the inherent power dynamics, saying something like, “Who’s going to believe you when it’s someone like Sam Menzin doing this?” She painted a picture of a front office where very few women worked, and where speaking out didn’t feel like a real option. That’s heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time.
Menzin, who’s only in his mid-30s, had been with the Tigers since 2012. He climbed the ranks from an intern to assistant GM, earning respect in baseball circles for his work in analytics and player development. He even played a visible role in programs designed to help women get their start in baseball — which now feels especially jarring, given the allegations.
Publicly, Menzin hasn’t offered much of a defense. He claimed in a text message to The Athletic that he was leaving to deal with “family issues” back in New York and wanted a career change. But when reporters tried to follow up, he didn’t return their calls or texts.
The whole situation is just a reminder that no matter how polished someone’s resume looks, or how high they climb within an organization, professional titles don’t guarantee personal integrity. What matters most is creating environments where everyone feels safe, heard, and respected — and where there are real consequences when that trust is violated.
At the end of the day, it’s not just about one man losing his job. It’s about a reckoning within sports — and workplaces in general — about accountability, transparency, and making sure these stories don’t go unheard anymore.
