However, Greene had an opportunity to raise his brand to a higher level on Monday night. According to Greene, through Detroit Free Press’ Evan Petzold, he declined multiple invitations from MLB to participate in the 2025 Home Run Derby in Atlanta, GA.

Riley is one of six Tigers in Atlanta for the All-Star Game with ace Tarik Skubal getting the ball to start for the American League team. Another is a former Yankee who Green says has helped stabilize this young team with his veteran presence. Gleyber Torres has resurrected his career with the Tigers.

Greene, the top hitter on the Tigers roster, is only 24 years old and has continued to swing the bat at a very high level. He’s set to hit arbitration during the winter, and doesn't hit free agency until 2029.
