HEARTBREAKING: Detroit Tigers Veteran has been removed from 2024/2025 players list following his social media…

Craig Monroe removed from Tigers broadcasting role after abuse allegations made on social media.

Craig Monroe was pulled from his role on Detroit Tigers broadcasts after a woman posted allegations of sexual abuse on social media, FOX2 Detroit reported Monday.

Monroe has not broadcast a Tigers game on television or radio since June 9.

The Tigers and the Bally Sports Detroit regional network released the following statement: “Bally Sports Detroit and the Tigers are aware of the social media allegations and take them seriously. As previously stated, Mr. Monroe has not been on the broadcast schedule and that will continue on an indefinite basis. We will have no further comment and any questions should be directed to Mr. Monroe.”

The woman alleged in her social media postings that the abuse began in Florida when she was a minor and Monroe was a minor-league player in the Texas Rangers organization. A spokesperson for the Charlotte County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office told the Detroit News that the agency was investigating the allegations.

Monroe has not responded to a request for comment since the beginning of his absence.

Flint attorney Michael Manley issued a statement to the Free Press vigorously denying the accusations.

“Craig Monroe takes allegations of this nature very seriously and would never commit or condone such despicable conduct,” he wrote.

Monroe, 47, played for the Tigers from 2002-2007 during his nine-year Major League career. He began contributing to the Tigers’ broadcasts as a studio analyst in 2012 and was named the primary analyst in 2023.

Dan Petry, Carlos Peña, Kirk Gibson and Todd Jones have also contributed to games in 2024 alongside first-year play-by-play man Jason Benetti.

Since Monroe’s departure, Petry has become Benetti’s primary partner.
