Meet Tigers' president of baseball ops: Scott Harris helped end WS drought & loves his mom

The Tigers made the move to hire Harris, 34, about a month after firing Al Avila, who served as general manager and vice president, midseason. Harris had most recently served as general manager of the San Francisco Giants.
