The Giants lost a key part of their front office Monday, according to multiple reports. The Detroit Tigers have reportedly agreed to a deal with San Francisco general manager Scott Harris to become their new president of baseball operations. Harris will replace longtime Tigers general manager Al Avila — who was canned in August amid the team's flailing rebuild — as the organization's top decision-maker. In his mid-30s, Harris immediately becomes one of the youngest team presidents in MLB, capping off a rapid rise through MLB front offices.
Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi hired Harris away from the Chicago Cubs at the end of the 2019 season.
