The Detroit Tigers have hired San Francisco Giants general manager Scott Harris as the organization's new president of baseball operations, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Free Press.
Harris, 35, inherits a rebuild that former general manager Al Avila began in 2017. Avila, who spent seven seasons in charge of the Tigers' baseball operations, was fired Aug. 10 after posting a 404-573 record during his tenure.
The Tigers have not confirmed the Harris hire.
The 2022 season is Harris' third year as the general manager for the Giants, after he joined San Francisco — led by Farhan Zaidi — in November 2019.
