The Detroit Tigers announced they've hired former San Francisco Giants general manager Scott Harris to be their new president of baseball Baseball Operations.
Harris takes over for longtime GM Al Avila, who was fired Aug. 10 after eight seasons with the team. Assistant GM Sam Menzin had assumed the role on an interim basis for the last five weeks.
Harris spent the last three years as the Giants' GM. He helped assemble San Francisco's surprising 107-win team in 2021 and built a roster that posted the majors' third-best winning percentage (.613) during his first two years.
