Detroit — This one has new Tigers team president Scott Harris’ fingerprints all over it.
In his time in San Francisco, Harris helped rebuild the Giants’ pitching staff by taking well-researched and calculated fliers on pitchers either coming off bad years or coming off injuries. Remember, this is the man who signed Matthew Boyd last offseason when he was still recovering from flexor tendon surgery.
On Wednesday, the Tigers claimed left-handed pitcher Sean Guenther off waivers from the Miami Marlins. Guenther, who is going into his age-27 season, had Tommy John surgery in April and will likely miss most, if not all, of the 2023 season.
