The Detroit Tigers hired Scott Harris as president of baseball operations Monday, choosing the San Francisco Giants' general manager to run the organization as it tries to transition from a half-decade-long rebuild to contention.

Harris, long seen as a rising star in front-office circles, spent the last three seasons with the Giants, working alongside president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi to build the team that won 107 games in 2021. Previously, Harris had spent seven seasons with the Chicago Cubs, ascending to assistant general manager and playing an integral role in their World Series-winning 2016 season.
