Detroit Tigers Star Riley Greene Stunned as Trade Talks with Yankees Go Public Without His Knowledge

Riley Greene, one of the most promising young stars in the Detroit Tigers’ lineup, is reportedly furious after finding out about ongoing trade discussions between the Tigers and the New York Yankees — through social media. Sources close to the situation revealed that Greene was unaware of any talks and had not been informed by the Tigers’ front office. The news came as a complete shock to the outfielder, who believed he was a central part of Detroit’s long-term rebuild. Greene, 23, has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise inconsistent Tigers offense, and fans have voiced outrage online, slamming the organization for a lack of transparency. His Instagram bio, once featuring “Detroit Tigers OF,” was quietly changed to a blank space just hours after reports surfaced. Tigers GM Scott Harris declined to comment when pressed by reporters. Meanwhile, Yankees insiders say Greene has been on their radar for months as a potential left-handed outfield upgrade. With the trade deadline approaching, tensions are rising fast in Detroit’s clubhouse. Teammates have reportedly rallied behind Greene, calling the situation “disrespectful” and “a slap in the face.” Whether this ends in a blockbuster move or clubhouse fallout, fans are watching closely.
