The Chicago White Sox were hit by the Detroit tigers.
Scott Harris, the general manager of the San Francisco Giants, will be the new president of baseball operations for the Detroit Tigers.
Harris spent the last three seasons with the Giants, working alongside president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi to build the team that won 105 games in 2021. Harris had been with the Cubs for seven seasons and was an important part of their World Series-winning 2016 season.
In the midst of a season that has gone sideways, the Detroit Tigers fired their long-time general manager, Al Avila, on August 11th. After spending more than 200 million dollars on free agents, Detroit hopes to contend for the American League Central Division title. It was clear that the desire to transition from a painful rebuild that included a 47- 114 record was clear.
The backslid of the tigers is different. Their 55-91 record is the fourth worst in baseball and they are 24 games behind Central-leading Cleveland. He has struggled compared to his career numbers despite being the best player on the team. The person is on the injured list. Mize will be out until at least the middle of next season. When Torkelson was recalled earlier this month, he showed flashes of his dominance in the minor leagues.
A front office that includes interim GM Sam Menzin and assistant GMs Jay Sartori and David Chadd is believed to be a jack of all trades. The hiring of manager A.J. Hinch and pitching coach Chris Fetter indicated a desire to acclimate the organization to more modern methods of thinking.
Detroit's payroll flexibility shows the ability to add talent beyond Rodriguez and Baez, who missed more than three months due to personal issues. The Tigers will have only two players on their books after the $32 million-a-year deal of their star player ends.
In addition to Torkelson and the young starters, the Tigers have the makings of a strong pen with a plethora of minor league pitchers, including Jackson Jobe and Ty Madden.
