DETROIT – The Detroit Tigers held an introductory press conference for their new president of baseball operations Scott Harris on Tuesday afternoon.
Harris, 36, spent the last three seasons as the general manager of the Giants after seven years in the Chicago Cubs’ front office. The Giants went 107-55 last season -- the best record in all of baseball -- but have fallen out of contention this year.
