Detroit — The Tigers’ roster is going to undergo changes, probably big changes, and probably quite soon. But Scott Harris, the team’s new president, wasn’t about to make any declarations Tuesday, his first day on the job, when he hasn’t yet most of the people in the organization who are going to help him decide who

Baltimore — Joe Jimenez and Javier Báez have been through this before, trying to keep their heads in the game when their hearts are 2,000 miles away. Not that it ever gets easier. “I’m talking to my family all the time,” Jimenez said before Tuesday’s game. “Trying to stay focused on baseball, of course. That is our job.

The Tigers today introduce their new president of baseball operations, Scott Harris. Harris, 36, comes to Detroit after three seasons as general manager of the San Francisco Giants. The Tigers announced Harris’ hiring on Monday. He follows Al Avila, who was fired last month as the Tigers’ vice president and general manager. Follow along here as

Baltimore, Md. — The rather sudden hiring of Scott Harris as president of baseball operations wasn’t the only plot twist Monday night. Tyler Alexander might’ve bent a plot line or two himself. The Tigers were 1-12 in his starts this season and his last few have been an absolute grind. He’d been tagged for 19

Monday’s news that Scott Harris is arriving as new front-office general for the Tigers was proof how much the Tigers mean to big-league baseball. This always was going to be their good fortune, this genuine status, from the day last month when Al Avila was discharged following seven years of too much losing. Begin with

The Detroit Tigers have a new leader in its their front office. The Tigers hired Scott Harris on Monday as president of baseball operations. His hiring follows the August firing of Al Avila, who was the Tigers’ vice president and general manager. Harris, 35, had been the general manager of the Giants for three seasons after serving multiple

Baltimore, Md. — There was definitely a spring in manager AJ Hinch’s step here Monday. He’d known for a couple of weeks that, in all likelihood, Tigers chairman and CEO Christopher Ilitch was going to hire San Francisco Giants general manager Scott Harris as the Tigers president of baseball operations. And finally, he could let

Baltimore, Md. — AJ Hinch was talking about rookie Garrett Hill after the loss to the White Sox on Sunday. Hill had one really good inning and one rough one. “His stuff was very good at the beginning, really explosive,” Hinch said. “Once he got into the stretch, it was a little bit different. But he’s

Baltimore, Md. — The Tigers have their new boss. The Tigers have hired San Francisco Giants general manager Scott Harris as president of baseball operations, a source confirmed Monday to The Detroit News. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Harris, 36, had been the general manager of the Giants for three seasons after

Detroit — The starch got taken out of this one quickly. After splitting a pair of tense, extra-inning games, the White Sox drained the drama with a five-run fifth inning and beat the Tigers, 11-5, Sunday to take the series and keep their slim playoff hopes alive. They are 3½ games behind Central Division-leading Cleveland. “It was

A couple of happy development stories converged for the Tigers during this 2022 season that specialized more in sadism than in anything remotely splendid. Riley Greene. Parker Meadows. One was expected: Greene, perhaps the best Tigers talent to be scouted and showcased and inserted into the daily Tigers roster since a kid named Al Kaline

Detroit — It might surprise you to know that Javier Báez’s slash-line since the All-Star break is a most respectable .281/.329/.406 with a 112 wRC-plus. He’s been especially scorching in September, hitting .370, slugging .593 (two doubles, two triples and two homers) with a .996 OPS. For him, for you, for the club, it’s taken way

Detroit —  In the end, it was another loss for the Tigers. The Chicago White Sox scored twice off Tigers closer Gregory Soto in the top of the 11th inning and evened the three-game series with a 4-3 win at Comerica Park Saturday night. Soto couldn’t field a bunt by Elvis Andrus. Yoan Moncada ripped an RBI

Detroit — Pretty busy day for Miguel Cabrera. Saturday morning he drove to Ann Arbor with his daughter Isabella and got his first glimpse of the Big House. He was, to say the least, impressed. “Amazing,” he said. Isabella, a high school senior, might be attending the University of Michigan next year and he was taking

Detroit — Watching it live, your first reaction was, “What just happened?” It was a critical moment in the Tigers’ 3-2, 10-inning win over the White Sox on Friday and it happened so fast and was such an unusual play, it took a few screenings of the replay to piece it together. How many times have you

Detroit — It legitimately felt, looking at the schedule back in April, that these last two series with the White Sox in September had a chance to be very meaningful. And they are. For the White Sox, who came in three games behind Cleveland for the top spot in the Central Division. “We should be

Detroit — The night he ran 110 feet to steal extra bases from Houston’s Alex Bregman, Tigers center fielder Riley Greene spent more than a half hour soaking in the tub. The next morning, his neck looked bruised. “That’s just from the massage,” he said. “I think.” The thing about all these diving catches he’s making,

Detroit — Had he been speaking to a group of Detroit media members, Astros manager Dusty Baker’s post-game comment would have triggered alarms. When asked to comment on Riley Greene’s 424-foot out, a blast that would have been a go-ahead, eighth-inning home run in 28 other parks, Baker said he heard the Tigers were going to

Detroit — To Riley Greene’s credit, he did not pull a Juan Gonzalez, a Victor Martinez or a Nick Castellanos. He was actually diplomatic about the spacious dimensions of Comerica Park even after it essentially robbed him of a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning Wednesday. “It’s a game of inches,” he said, after
