Avila's contract with the Tigers runs through 2015 and I can't imagine him leaving the team as long as his son is on the roster. Further, it's believed he's well compensated by Mike ilitch, and before his contract expires, it's entirely possible that he could be fulfilling his dream as general manager for the Tigers.
