Scott Harris
The Detroit Tigers may have found a silver lining by hiring Scott Harris, former general manager of the San Francisco Giants as the new president of baseball operations to help them rebuild their game and revive sagging spirits.
With the right amount of qualification, knowledge and experience, 36-year-old Scott Harris has worked with many teams in the past and emerged as a well-known name in the field. Before working with the San Francisco Giants for three seasons, Scott Harris’ role as a general manager in the Chicago cubs led to the clubs winning of the World Series in 2016.
With the current situation in the club and the termination of their general manager Al Avila on August 11, the Tigers appear to be in a rough situation currently with a record of 55-91, the 4th worst in baseball. The entry of Scott Harris may be of utmost help and take the Tigers to new heights.
